EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Gad" from The Twelve Sons of Jacob, is a masterpiece created by the renowned Flemish artist Jacques de Gheyn II in the late 16th century. The image depicts the biblical figure Gad, one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. According to the Book of Genesis, Gad was born to Jacob and his wife Zilpah, and was known for his exceptional strength and valor. The black and white image captures the essence of Gad as an elderly, bearded man with a serious expression, clad in traditional Hebrew attire. He is seated on a rocky outcrop, with his staff resting beside him, symbolizing his status as a leader and his connection to the land of Israel. The engraving is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Flanders, Belgium, during the 16th century, and is a significant contribution to the visual representation of the Old Testament in European art. The image is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive holdings of European art from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The Twelve Sons of Jacob series, of which this image is a part, is a rare and important work, and is highly regarded by scholars and art enthusiasts for its historical and artistic significance.
