About the Item

Jacob's Blessing is an original painting realized in the mid-19th Century by the Italian artist Andrea Appiani Il Giovane (Milan, 1817 - Milan, 1865). Original oil painting on wooden panel. The original gilded frame is included. Very good conditions. Work realized by the Italian artist Andrea Appiani Il Giovane. The time had come for Isaac to give a blessing to his eldest son. Being older than Jacob, Esau thought he was receiving this blessing. But earlier Esau had sold Jacob the right to receive the blessing. Furthermore, before their birth, God had said that Jacob would receive the blessing. The subject of this canvas depicts an episode from Genesis (Genesis 25, 19-34; 27, 28, 1-5) where it is said that Jacob, as a young man, then one of the biblical patriarchs and twin brother of Esau, prefiguration for the Church of the origins of Jesus Christ, stole the blessing of his father, planning, at the instigation of his mother Rebecca, the replacement with his brother Esau. Andrea Appiani il Giovane (Milan, 1817 - Milan, 1865). Grandson of the more famous Andrea Appiani, painter of Napoleon in Italy, like his grandfather he embarked on a career in the field of art and first studied in Rome with Tommaso Minardi and then was a pupil of Francesco Hayez in Milan. He was in charge of the frescoes in the parish church of Bolbeno, while for the Milanese society he devoted himself mainly to historical paintings.
