Mid-Morning Art Thread
Isaac Blessing Jacob
Abraham van Dijck
This is a fine example of why art is so much fun. I had never heard of this guy, and neither did WikiArt (no surprise), but a little poking around yielded some very fine work.
Is it great? Well...no. Jacob looks like he was painted 300 years later by N.C. Wyeth. But it's interesting to look at, and his other works are as good, if not better. van Dijck was presumably a pupil of Rembrandt, and even to this ignorant viewer the connection is clear.
