About the piece
Painted in 1638 by Govert Flinck, one of Rembrandt’s most successful pupils, this work depicts the moment the elderly Isaac mistakenly blesses Jacob. The composition is defined by its warm, earthy palette and the intimate, tactile quality of the fabrics and skin, showcasing Flinck's early mastery of chiaroscuro and psychological depth.
