EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite image, taken from the Thomas Bankes Bible, depicts the poignant moment of Jacob blessing his grandchildren, Ephraim and Manasseh, sons of Joseph. The scene is drawn from the Old Testament book of Genesis, chapter 48, verses 1-22. Jacob, with his eyes closed in deep concentration, reaches out to place his hands on the heads of the two young boys, imparting his blessing upon them. Joseph, his son, stands to the side, his arms protectively encircling his sons as he looks on with a mixture of pride and reverence. The warm glow of the setting sun casts a golden light over the scene, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. The Thomas Bankes Bible, created in the late 18th century, is a stunning example of the intricate and detailed illustrations that were common in biblical manuscripts of the time. The illustrations were often produced by skilled artists and craftsmen, who worked meticulously to bring the biblical stories to life. This particular image of Jacob blessing Joseph and his sons is a powerful reminder of the deep bond between generations, and the importance of passing on blessings and wisdom from one generation to the next. It is a scene that resonates with viewers across cultures and time periods, and continues to inspire awe and wonder.
