Death of Antiochus After His Fall

1738

Not on view

During the years Saint-Aubin competed for the Prix de Rome, students were encouraged to learn printmaking by etching their own compositions. This print takes as its model the painting he submitted to a special competition in 1753, today in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. The story appears in the Book of Genesis (24:31), in the Old Testament. After Laban refused to grant his son-in-law Jacob his earnings, Jacob’s wife Rachel—Laban’s daughter—stole her father’s household gods and hid them by sitting on a trunk.
