"Isaac Blessing Jacob" is a fresco painted by Giotto in 1290. It depicts the biblical story of Isaac blessing Jacob, who is disguised as his older brother Esau. Giotto's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of realism and depth, with the figures appearing to be in a three-dimensional space. The scene is set in a simple interior, emphasizing the intimate nature of the moment. This artwork is found in the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, Italy, and is a testament to Giotto's contribution to the development of the Renaissance art style.
