EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant biblical scene from Genesis 49:1-28, where Jacob blesses his twelve sons. The image showcases Jacob lying on a bed under an elegant canopy, surrounded by his sons who stand and kneel in anticipation of their father's blessings. With a gentle gesture of his right hand, Jacob bestows his heartfelt blessings upon each son individually. The artist, Cornelis Huyberts, skillfully portrays the emotional depth of this sacred moment through intricate etching techniques. The attention to detail is remarkable as even Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph's two sons, are depicted against the right wall. A woman can be seen sitting at a table nearby, perhaps observing or participating in this solemn occasion. The title of the print is presented in multiple languages - Hebrew, French, German, Latin, English and Dutch - emphasizing its universal significance across cultures and time periods. Created between 1720-1728 in Amsterdam on paper medium using etching methods; this artwork exemplifies Huyberts' mastery as an artist. This print from the Liszt Collection serves as both a visual masterpiece and a reminder of the enduring power of faith and family bonds. It invites viewers to reflect upon the timeless themes found within religious texts while appreciating the artistic brilliance that brings these narratives to life.
