Huwelijk van Isaak en Rebekka (blad 4) 1585 - 1645

This etching by Dutch artist Gijsbert van Veen, dating back to between 1585 and 1645, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Isaac and Rebekah. The artwork is part of a series of prints illustrating the Book of Genesis. The scene portrays the moment when Isaac, who is seated on a rock in the foreground, is being led to Rebekah, who is inside the house in the background. Van Veen's masterful use of line and detail creates a sense of depth and movement within the scene. The scene unfolds in front of a pastoral setting, with rocky hills, trees and a fence, all creating a sense of realism and bringing the biblical narrative to life.
