Abimelech ziet Isaak Rebekka liefkozen 1615

"Abimelech ziet Isaak Rebekka liefkozen" (Abimelech Sees Isaac Caressing Rebecca) is a 1615 etching by the Italian Baroque artist Orazio Borgianni (1578-1616). The etching depicts a scene from the biblical story of Isaac and Rebecca, where Abimelech sees Isaac embracing Rebecca, both in a pose of great affection. The scene is set in an elaborate, classical interior, with a large archway opening onto a bright, sunlit courtyard, and a fountain in the foreground. The etching, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Borgianni's talent for depicting the human figure, both in terms of anatomical detail and emotional expression. The etching's high contrast and dramatic lighting further enhance the visual impact of the scene, making it a compelling example of Italian Baroque art.
