EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic biblical scene of "Esau sells his birthright to Jacob" painted by Zacarias Gonzalez Velazquez between 1790-1800. The artwork, measuring an impressive 239x156 cm, is housed in Caylus Anticuario in Madrid, Spain. The painting depicts a significant moment from the Old Testament where Esau, portrayed with anguish on his face, surrenders his birthright to his brother Jacob. A tablecloth drapes over the table as they engage in this pivotal transaction. This religious narrative holds great importance within Christianity and symbolizes themes of family dynamics and divine providence. Velazquez's masterful brushwork brings life to each character present in the scene. The viewer can almost taste the lentil soup that plays a crucial role in this exchange. Rebecca, their mother, watches intently from afar as she orchestrates events behind the scenes. This remarkable piece showcases Velazquez's talent for capturing human emotions and storytelling through art. It serves as a testament to religion's enduring influence on artistic expression throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this timeless masterpiece into a high-quality print that allows viewers worldwide to appreciate its intricate details and profound meaning.
