Isaak belooft Esau een tweede zegening 1607

"Isaak belooft Esau een tweede zegening" (Isaac Promises Esau a Second Blessing) is an etching by Sisto Badalocchio, a prominent Italian artist active in the early 17th century. Created in 1607, this small-scale work depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis, where Isaac, lying on a bed, promises his son Esau a blessing despite having already blessed his other son, Jacob. The scene is rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing the artist's skill in conveying emotion and narrative through subtle linework and shading. This artwork is a testament to Badalocchio's talent for capturing biblical stories with dramatic intensity and expressive nuance.
