Summary
Jacob flies away from Laban, as in Genesis 31:20-21, "And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead."; illustration from the 1728 Figures de la Bible; illustrated by Gerard Hoet (1648-1733) and others, and published by P. de Hondt in The Hague; image courtesy Bizzell Bible Collection, University of Oklahoma Libraries
Hoet was born in 1648 in Zaltbommel, the Netherlands. He studied under the Dutch painter Cornelis Saftleven and later worked as an engraver for the Dutch publisher Jacobus van Meurs. Hoet became known for his historical and mythological paintings, as well as his portraits and landscapes. In 1704, Hoet was appointed director of the newly established Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. He remained in this position until his death in 1733. During his time as director, Hoet was instrumental in promoting the Dutch Golden Age style of painting and encouraging young artists to develop their skills. Hoet's works can be found in many museums and collections around the world, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. His legacy as a painter and engraver continues to be celebrated today.
