EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art called "Isaac and Esau from the High Altar of St. Peters in Hamburg, the Grabower Altar". Created by Master Bertram of Minden in 1383, this tempera on panel painting is housed at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The scene depicted here portrays Isaac, an old and blind man, instructing his devoted son Esau to venture out and hunt for venison. The intricate details captured by Master Bertram beautifully convey the emotional depth of this biblical story. The composition is rich with symbolism: a bow and arrow symbolizing Esau's hunting prowess; a bed representing Isaac's vulnerability due to his blindness; Rebecca, Isaac's wife, standing nearby as an observer; and a Gothic-style canopy adding grandeur to the setting. These elements come together harmoniously to create a fictive yet powerful representation of familial devotion. As we delve into this masterpiece through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the tender relationship between father and son. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenges such as age or physical limitations, love can still be expressed through acts of care and sacrifice. This image is part of Bridgeman Art Library's collection and offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical significance within religious iconography.
