This silver and gold "Jacob Blessed by Isaac," created by P.M. between 1562 and 1572, is a stunning example of Renaissance metalwork. The intricate engraving depicts the biblical story of Isaac blessing Jacob, who has tricked his brother Esau by wearing his brother's clothes and pretending to be him. The scene is set within an elaborate architectural frame, highlighting the attention to detail that characterized the era. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this small, finely-wrought plate showcases the artistry of the period.
