EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by the renowned Italian artist Giorgio Vasari, dating back to the 16th century, showcases two studies for a ceiling decoration. On the recto side, we find the intriguing scene of Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well. According to the Old Testament, Eliezer, Abraham's servant, was sent to find a wife for Isaac. He arrived at the well where Rebecca was drawing water, and when she offered to water his camels as well, Eliezer was convinced she was the chosen one. This touching biblical scene is beautifully depicted through Vasari's skillful use of pen and brown ink with brush and brown wash on cream laid paper, squared in graphite and red chalk. On the verso side, we find another study for a ceiling decoration. While the subject matter is not immediately clear, it is evident that Vasari's mastery of architectural features and intricate details are on full display. The brown ink and red chalk drawings demonstrate the artist's exceptional ability to capture the essence of his vision, making this print a valuable addition to any art collection. This exquisite piece of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of Christianity on European art. The intricate details and thoughtful composition make this print a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the Old Testament stories that continue to inspire artists and audiences alike.
