1798 Blessing Covered Disguised Father Johannes Pieter De Frey Neck Goatskins

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Isaac blesses Jacob" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of familial significance. The scene unfolds with the old Isaac, frail and vulnerable, seated on his bed as he bestows his blessing upon the kneeling figure of Jacob. Behind Isaac stands Rebekka, her presence lending an air of solemnity to the occasion. The artist, Johannes Pieter de Frey, skillfully captures the emotions at play in this biblical narrative. We can almost feel the weight of history and destiny resting upon these characters as they navigate their roles within a complex family dynamic. Notably, Jacob is disguised in Esau's clothes while offering food to his father. This clever ruse adds intrigue and tension to the composition, highlighting Jacob's determination to secure his rightful inheritance despite obstacles. De Frey pays meticulous attention to detail; we observe that Jacob's hands and neck are covered with goatskins—a crucial element from Genesis that further emphasizes deception in this pivotal moment. This exquisite etching invites us into a world where faith intersects with human ambition and reminds us of our own capacity for both virtue and deceit. It serves as a timeless reminder that blessings can be earned through cunning or righteousness but always come at great personal cost. The Liszt Collection has once again curated an exceptional piece that not only showcases artistic brilliance but also sparks contemplation on themes central to our shared humanity.
