"Isaac Blessing Jacob" is a painting by the Flemish artist Jan van Hemessen (c.1500-1566) depicting a biblical scene. It is now held in the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts in Hungary. The painting is a large-scale work, measuring 119 x 163 cm, and depicts the moment when Isaac, lying in bed, blesses his son Jacob. This painting is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance style, with its detailed realism and attention to minute details, capturing the solemn moment of the blessing. It shows the importance of this biblical story in the artist's time and offers a window into the religious beliefs and practices of the 16th century.
