About the piece
Painted in 1638 by the Italian Baroque master Guercino, this work depicts the biblical scene of Jacob blessing his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh. The composition is a brilliant example of tenebrism, using deep shadows and luminous highlights to focus the viewer's attention on the tender interaction between the generations.
