EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Levi," is a stunning work of art from the Sixteenth Century created by the renowned Flemish artist Jacques de Gheyn II. Part of his series "The Twelve Sons of Jacob," this print depicts the biblical character Levi, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, as an elderly man with a long white beard and a serious expression. Dressed in traditional Hebrew garb, Levi is shown seated with his staff in hand, symbolizing his role as a leader and founder of the Levitical priesthood in the Jewish faith. Originally hailing from Flanders, Belgium, Europe, Jacques de Gheyn II masterfully captured the essence of this important biblical figure in this black and white engraving. The intricate details and fine lines showcase the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to his craft. The print is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Old Testament and the importance of the biblical narrative in Western art and Christianity. The image of Levi, with his wise and contemplative gaze, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, inviting them to explore the depths of the Book of Genesis and the stories of the Israelites.
