EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini's masterpiece, "Rebecca at the Well". Painted between 1708 and 1713, this oil on canvas artwork measures 127.3x104.5 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London, UK. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from the Book of Genesis when Abraham's servant Eliezer sought a bride for Isaac. Positioned near Nahor's well in Mesopotamia, Eliezer encountered Rebecca. As tradition dictated, he requested water from her to quench his thirst after a long journey. Astonishingly, Rebecca not only fulfilled his request but also generously provided water for his camels—a sign that she was destined to be Isaac's wife. Pellegrini masterfully captures this biblical scene with exquisite attention to detail and Venetian flair. The composition radiates classical elegance as Rebecca gracefully pours water into a pitcher while adorned with jewels that symbolize her noble lineage. Through this artwork, Pellegrini invites viewers to reflect upon themes of faithfulness, destiny, and divine intervention within the context of ancient Hebrew scripture. This timeless piece serves as an enduring testament to both Italian Renaissance artistry and religious devotion. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary encounter that forever changed the course of history—an encounter between two souls brought together by fate at a humble well in Mesopotamia.
