"Dying Jacob is blessing his sons" is a work by Italian artist Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, who was born in 1727 and died in 1804. The fresco depicts the biblical story of Jacob, the patriarch of the twelve tribes of Israel, on his deathbed, blessing his sons. The scene is set in a room with a window, and the figures are depicted in a dramatic and emotive style. Tiepolo’s masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. This fresco exemplifies the characteristic Rococo style of the artist, known for its elegant and ornate details.
