EDITORS COMMENTS
The Meeting of Eliezer and Rebecca at the Well, 19th Century: A Glimpse into Biblical Betrayal and Kindness". This print captures a significant biblical scene from Genesis 24:22, where Abraham's servant Eliezer meets Rebecca at the well. Created by H Robinson in the 19th century, it beautifully depicts an engraving after Antoine Coypel's painting from 1701. In this momentous encounter, Eliezer presents Rebecca with precious jewels to seal her betrothal to Isaac. As stated in the scripture, he offers a golden earring of half a shekel weight and two bracelets weighing ten shekels each. This act symbolizes their commitment to one another and marks an important step towards their union. What makes this meeting even more remarkable is that it was prompted by Rebecca's kindness towards Eliezer's camels. She selflessly offered water to quench their thirst after they had finished drinking. Her compassionate gesture not only caught Eliezer's attention but also demonstrated her virtuous nature. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the engraving while capturing the essence of faith, love, and devotion present in this biblical tale. It serves as a reminder of how acts of kindness can lead us on unexpected paths and bring about life-changing encounters. Displayed in museums around the world like The Louvre Museum in Paris, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message. Through H Robinson's skillful reproduction, we are transported back centuries ago to witness this pivotal moment between two individuals destined for marriage – forever immortalized through art.
