EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the biblical character Issachar, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. Created by Jacques de Gheyn II, a renowned artist from the Netherlandish region, this engraving is a testament to his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The scene depicted in this artwork is inspired by the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. With delicate lettering accompanying the illustration, it offers a glimpse into religious culture and Christian heritage. The figure of Issachar stands prominently amidst an intricate backdrop, exuding strength and wisdom. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this antique print carries with it a rich historical significance. Its presence in an art gallery exhibition allows viewers to immerse themselves in its profound depiction and appreciate its artistic value. Jacques de Gheyn II's masterful technique shines through in every stroke of his pen. His ability to capture human emotion and convey complex narratives through his drawings is truly remarkable. This portrait serves as a timeless reminder of our connection to ancient texts and their enduring relevance today. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back in time – witnessing not only an individual but also glimpsing into an entire family lineage that has shaped history itself.
