Isaac blessing Jacob 

Johann Georg Trautmann's "Isaac Blessing Jacob" is a striking black and white etching depicting a scene from the Bible. Isaac, lying on a bed, is seen giving his blessing to his son Jacob, who kneels before him. A figure stands behind Isaac, perhaps representing Rebekah, Jacob's mother, who played a crucial role in the deception. The composition highlights the intimate and emotional nature of the blessing, while the background suggests a grand setting. Trautmann, a German artist known for his etchings and drawings, skillfully portrays the details of the scene with careful lines and shading. This artwork, currently held at the Städel Museum, exemplifies Trautmann's mastery of etching and his ability to capture the drama and emotion of biblical narratives.
