Isaac Blessing Jacob is a 1402 by Unknown, a Renaissance work, depicting Sheet Music, held at National Gallery of Art.
This tiny painting shows Isaac blessing Jacob as an old man. Jacob stands with his hand on Isaac’s head. Rebekah watches from behind a curtain. The colors are bright but soft. The artist used gold leaf in the clothes and background. That was common in the 1400s. It made pictures feel special and holy. Want to see more? Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
