EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Issac Blessing Jacob" by Matthias Stomer, created between 1600 and 1650. The oil on canvas painting, now housed at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts in Birmingham, depicts a powerful biblical scene. In this poignant artwork, we witness Isaac bestowing his blessing upon his son Jacob. The composition is rich with symbolism and emotion as Isaac sits on his deathbed while holding a walking stick. His blindness adds an element of vulnerability to the scene. Jacob's disguise and deceit are evident as he cunningly presents himself before his father for the stolen blessing. This moment captures the tension between guile and religious devotion found within Christianity's Old Testament narratives. Stomer's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each character portrayed in this dramatic tableau. The inclusion of a dog symbolizes loyalty amidst human treachery, emphasizing the complexity of human relationships. The artist skillfully conveys themes such as sacrifice and faith through subtle elements like venison offerings placed nearby. Rebecca, Jacob's mother, watches over her son from afar with both concern and pride. This thought-provoking painting invites viewers to reflect on moral choices, family dynamics, and divine intervention within religious contexts. Stomer's work continues to captivate audiences centuries later due to its timeless exploration of universal human experiences intertwined with biblical narratives.
