Born in Amsterdam, Gerbrand van den Eeckhout was a student of Rembrandt and was able to produce works indistinguishable from his master’s. Here see van den Eeckhout’s rendering of the Biblical couple Jacob and Rachel, star-crossed lovers in the early history of the Jewish era. The poses are that of a group portrait, rather than a religious, historical work.
