EDITORS COMMENTS
Judah, c1590: A Portrait of Resilience and Leadership from The Twelve Sons of Jacob by Jacques de Gheyn II In this engraving from the Sixteenth Century, Jacques de Gheyn II presents a powerful and poignant image of the biblical figure Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the founder of the tribe that carried his name. This print, part of the series The Twelve Sons of Jacob, was created in Flanders, Belgium, during the height of the Northern Renaissance. Judah, depicted here as a mature man with a serious expression, is shown wearing a richly textured robe and a turban adorned with a star, symbols of his position as a leader among his brothers and the Israelites. The black and white contrast of the engraving adds depth and dimension to the intricate details of the textiles and the fur-trimmed mantle that drapes over his shoulders. The image of Judah is drawn from the Old Testament book of Genesis, where he is portrayed as a man of great courage and determination. Despite the challenges he faced, including selling his brother Joseph into slavery and later reconciling with him, Judah remained steadfast in his faith and his commitment to his family. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Israelites and the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish people. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and leadership that have defined the Jewish community throughout history and continue to inspire us today.
