1690 Biblical Camel Camels Genesis Isaac Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century print depicts the biblical account of The Marriage of Isaac from the Book of Genesis (24:62-67). In this Old Testament narrative, Abraham's servant, Eliezer, travels to the land of Aram to find a wife for Isaac. He prays for God's guidance and meets Rebekah, who offers water to Eliezer and his ten camels. In return, she receives a gold nose ring and two bracelets as tokens of Isaac's love. The print beautifully captures the moment of their union, with Rebekah and Isaac seated on elaborate thrones, surrounded by their families and servants. The bridegroom, Isaac, is shown with a serious expression, while Rebekah, the radiant bride, gazes lovingly at him. The scene is filled with rich details, including the intricate patterns on their thrones, the ornate headdresses of the women, and the majestic camels that symbolize the journey from Aram. This print, created in the late 1600s, is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical story of Isaac and Rebekah's marriage. It showcases the artistic skills of the time, with its meticulous attention to detail and stunning use of color. The print also serves as a reminder of the importance of faith, love, and the role of divine intervention in human relationships.
