EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Laban Searching for the Idols" artist Pieter Lastman takes us back to a dramatic scene from the Book of Genesis. The artwork, measuring 110x160 cm, is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts et D Archeologie in Boulogne, France. The composition centers around Laban, Jacob's uncle, who frantically searches for his stolen idols. Laban's turbaned figure stands tall and determined as he interrogates a group of children and a young boy holding onto a loyal dog by his side. Laban's face reveals both anger and denial as he desperately seeks to uncover the truth. The story behind this painting originates from Rachel's cunning act of stealing Laban's teraphim - small sacred figurines - before leaving with Jacob. To conceal her theft, she cleverly hides them within a camel saddle. As tensions rise between family members due to this deception, Lastman captures the intense emotions through his masterful brushwork and use of light and shadow. This thought-provoking artwork not only showcases Lastman's skill but also invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as betrayal, deceit, and familial relationships found within biblical narratives. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, human nature was rife with complex emotions and moral dilemmas.
