EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment of the biblical story of Jacob's death. In this scene, Jacob is depicted lying on his bed, surrounded by his loving sons who gather around to bid their final farewell. The atmosphere is filled with both sorrow and reverence as they prepare to say goodbye to their beloved father. At the center of the composition, Joseph kneels beside the bed, receiving his father's blessing in this tender and emotional moment. It symbolizes the passing down of wisdom and authority from one generation to another. The presentation of this artwork is exquisite, showcased on an ornamental table adorned with two caryatids that add a touch of grandeur. Below the image, a cartouche displays a Latin verse from Genesis 49:28, further emphasizing the significance and religious context of this event. Created by Zacharias Dolendo in Leiden around 1599, this paper engraving measures approximately 158mm in height and 110mm in width. Its intricate details beautifully capture the emotions and dynamics within this pivotal scene. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also invites contemplation on themes such as family bonds, mortality, and spiritual inheritance. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection on life's transient nature.
