Isaac Blessing Jacob After Govert Flinck 18th C. Baroque Old Master Painting 63"

About the Item

An exceptional original Old Master reproduction of Isaac 'Blessing Jaacob' after Govert Flinck, a student of Rembrandt. The original 17th century (1638) oil on canvas is now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The painting recounts a scene from the bible when Jacob pretended to be his brother Esau and tricks his blind father Isaac to bless him with the birthright. The art style is reminiscent of Rembrandt, whom Flinck was trained by. This beautiful example is painted on a large oil canvas with impressive detail and color, circa late 1700s. A perfect copy of the original. Framed in hardwood with low relief carved gilt gesso. The work is almost identical in size to the original with a very similar frame. Govaert Flinck was one of Rembrandt's most talented pupils. He is recorded in the master's Amsterdam studio from 1635 until 1636, when, according to his early biographer Houbraken, he established himself as an autonomous artist (A. Houbraken, De Groote Schouburgh de Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen, Amsterdam, 1718-1721, II, p. 18). Rembrandt greatly influenced Flinck's career, which is especially evident in Flinck's lasting interest in the genre of the tronie: a type of imaginary portrait or character study, painted from a living model but depicting a stock character or a particular personality. Such tronies by Rembrandt and his pupils possess as much (and on occasion even more) penetrating analysis of the human psyche in all its different guises as their portraits of specific sitters. Dimensions: 53.5" x 63", sans 55.5" x 46.5"
