Description: | Jacob, aided by his mother, Rebecca, pretends to his blind and dying father Isaac, that he is Esau his eldest son. This deception, in order to claim his fathers inheritance, was prophesised by God (Genesis 27.18-19). Jacob is dressed in his brother Esau's hunting clothing so that his father would not recognise his smell. A cooked meal of domestic livestock is seen placed on the bed. | Subjects: | religion (Jacob); figure; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Victors, Jan (Dutch painter; 1619-1676) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8916... | Go to resource |
