Gerbrand van den Eekhaut (Dutch) 1621-1674,Isaac Blessing Jacob,oil on canvas
Jacob impersonates his elder brother in order to receive a blessing of their father Isaac,a scheme conceived by Rebecca,the blind man's wife. Rembrandt made several drawings of the Old Testament subject in the 1640s and a few of his pupils follow suit.In his case Van den Eekhaut emulates the master's style more successfully than his gift for effective staging.
