EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a striking image of Benjamin, one of the twelve patriarchs, from the series The Twelve Patriarchs created in 1550. This black and white etching by Dirck Volkertsen Coornhert showcases his exceptional artistic talent and attention to detail. Benjamin's figure stands tall and proud, exuding strength and wisdom. His facial expression reflects a deep sense of contemplation, as if he is pondering upon the weighty responsibilities that come with being one of the chosen leaders. The artist skillfully portrays Benjamin's features with intricate lines and shading, capturing every nuance of his character. This artwork holds immense historical significance as it draws inspiration from the Book of Genesis in the Bible. It serves as a visual representation of biblical narratives that have shaped Christian beliefs for centuries. Moreover, this piece also sheds light on Dutch culture during the 16th century when religious themes were prominent in art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable creation within its collection, preserving it for generations to come. Through this photograph print, viewers can appreciate Coornhert's mastery while immersing themselves in an exploration of faith and heritage.
