Isaac and Rebecca, Known as ‘The Jewish Bride’

Rembrandt ca. 1665 - ca. 1669

Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

To prevent being killed and having his wife captured by King Abimelech, Isaac concealed his love for Rebecca by pretending they were brother and sister. However, their intimacy betrayed them when they thought they were not being spied on. Rembrandt depicts them in a tender moment. Furthermore, he works with exceptional freedom, applies the paint thickly, and scratches into it with the butt end of his paintbrush.
