EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Rebecca and Eliezer, 1660" by Salomon de Bray showcases a beautiful scene from the biblical era. In this pen and ink drawing with wash on paper, we are transported to a time of ancient ruins and religious significance. The artwork measures 18.2x31.1 cm and is housed in the esteemed Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The image depicts an encounter between Rebecca and Eliezer near a well, as described in the Old Testament. A pulley system is visible, used to draw water from the well into buckets for drinking and other purposes. Camels stand nearby, symbolizing travel and nomadic life during that period. Rebecca's act of kindness shines through as she helps Eliezer fetch water using a jug or pail while pouring it into an amphora or large container for their use. This gesture exemplifies generosity and compassion within Christianity. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this meeting with intricate details such as clothing styles, architectural elements of the ruins, and expressions on both characters' faces. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an important biblical story but also reminds us of timeless values like helping others without expecting anything in return. It invites contemplation on themes like faith, hospitality, and human connection across different eras.
