EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Laban Searching for his Household Gods" created by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin in the 18th century, we are transported to a biblical scene filled with mystery and intrigue. The image depicts Laban, a father figure from the Old Testament's Book of Genesis, desperately searching for his stolen household gods. With an etching technique that adds depth and texture to the artwork, Saint-Aubin masterfully captures the intensity of Laban's search. His hand gestures convey both frustration and determination as he scours every corner of his country estate. Meanwhile, Rachel, Laban's daughter-in-law, stands nearby with a worried expression on her face. The presence of camels further enhances the sense of time and place within this French countryside setting. As Laban frantically looks for his deities - symbols of religious devotion - we can't help but wonder about their significance and why they were taken. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, family dynamics, and personal beliefs. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, people grappled with questions surrounding religion and spirituality. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this work by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin showcases his talent for capturing human emotions through intricate details. It is an exquisite example of heritage art that continues to captivate viewers today.
