EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh" we are transported back in time to witness a profound moment of familial significance. The artist, Johannes Pieter de Frey, skillfully captures the essence of this biblical scene with his masterful brushstrokes. The image portrays Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, bestowing his final blessings upon his grandsons Ephraim and Manasseh. As we gaze at the composition, we notice Jacob's crossed hands as he places them on the heads of these young men. It is a poignant reminder of how Jacob himself had once clutched onto his twin brother Esau's heel during their birth. With great emotion etched across their faces, Joseph - son of Jacob - tries in vain to push aside his father's arms and redirect the blessing towards Manasseh. However, it is clear that Jacob has made up his mind and remains steadfast in granting Ephraim with a greater portion. Through Quint Lox's lens capturing this remarkable artwork from D. V. Denon's collection dating back to 1780-1834, viewers can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also delve into themes such as family dynamics and divine providence that resonate throughout history. This print serves as an invitation for us to reflect on our own relationships within our families while contemplating the power of blessings passed down through generations.
