"Jacob Stealing Esau's Birthright" is a significant painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the early 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in the use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotional narratives through his art. Ribera, who spent much of his career in Naples, was heavily influenced by Caravaggio, and this influence is evident in the dramatic lighting and realistic depiction of human figures in "Jacob Stealing Esau's Birthright."

The painting illustrates a pivotal moment from the Old Testament story of Jacob and Esau, the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. According to the biblical narrative, Esau, the elder son, is entitled to the birthright, which includes the inheritance and the blessing of their father. However, Jacob, with the encouragement of his mother Rebekah, deceives his father Isaac and secures the birthright for himself. Ribera captures the tension and moral complexity of this moment, focusing on the psychological interplay between the characters.

In "Jacob Stealing Esau's Birthright," Ribera employs a dark, moody palette, with the figures emerging from the shadows, a technique that heightens the drama of the scene. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the clothing and the expressive faces of the characters. The painting not only reflects Ribera's technical skill but also his deep understanding of human nature and the moral ambiguities inherent in the biblical story.

This work is a testament to Ribera's position as one of the leading painters of the Spanish Baroque period, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and narrative depth. The painting is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, where it remains a key piece in the collection of Baroque art.
