Isaac Blesses Jacob With His Birthright is a painting attributed to the Dutch artist Han van Meegeren, who is most famously known as one of the most ingenious art forgers of the twentieth century. Van Meegeren's work was initially thought to be by the Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer, as he specialized in creating and selling forgeries of Vermeer's paintings during the 1930s and 1940s. However, this particular painting depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Genesis, where the patriarch Isaac, deceived by his son Jacob and his wife Rebecca, bestows his blessing and the right of the firstborn upon Jacob instead of his elder brother Esau.

The painting showcases Van Meegeren's adeptness at emulating the styles of Dutch Old Masters, a skill that allowed him to deceive art experts and collectors of his time. His technique involved the use of historical materials and methods, including the mixing of his paints with Bakelite to harden them and mimic the texture of centuries-old paintings. The subject matter of "Isaac Blesses Jacob With His Birthright" is consistent with the religious and historical themes popular among Dutch artists of the 17th century, which Van Meegeren exploited to lend authenticity to his forgeries.

The revelation of Van Meegeren's forgeries, including the possible creation of "Isaac Blesses Jacob With His Birthright," came after World War II when he was arrested on charges of collaboration for selling a "Vermeer" to Nazi leader Hermann Göring. To avoid more severe punishment for treason, Van Meegeren confessed to forgery, subsequently demonstrating his techniques in a sensational trial that captivated the public and embarrassed the art establishment.

Today, Van Meegeren's works, including "Isaac Blesses Jacob With His Birthright," are studied for their historical significance in the context of art forgery, and they serve as cautionary tales about the importance of rigorous provenance research in the art market. The painting is part of the oeuvre that challenges the connoisseurship of art experts and the authenticity of art itself, making it an important piece in understanding the complexities of art forgery.
