Issachar, a name that echoes through the ages. From biblical times to theatrical performances, this figure has left an indelible mark on history and art. In the painting "Joseph Recognised by his Brothers, " we catch a glimpse as part of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. His presence among his brethren signifies unity and strength in their shared ancestry. A colored engraving titled "Tribe of Issachar" further immortalizes this ancient lineage. The vibrant hues bring to life the rich heritage and cultural significance associated with this tribe. Moving beyond visual representations, we delve into literature. In Voltaire's masterpiece Candide, there is an illustration from chapter 9 that exclaims, "Sainte Vierge. s ecria-t-elle qu'allons nous devenir? Un Homme tue chez moi. " These words spoken in distress capture the essence of Issachar's story within the larger narrative. The engravings depicting Hypatia at the Haymarket Theatre showcase another facet of Issachar's tale - temptation. Through these artistic renditions, we witness his struggle as he faces moral dilemmas and tests his own resolve. Johann Sadeler I's portrayal captures Issachar around 1585, offering us a glimpse into how he was envisioned during that period. This depiction showcases both historical accuracy and artistic interpretation. From architecture to etchings, even Adolf Loos found inspiration in Issachar for his design of Steiner House in Vienna. This fusion between contemporary aesthetics and ancient symbolism serves as a testament to the enduring influence of this patriarchal figure. Jacques de Gheyn II's work titled "Issachar from The Twelve Sons of Jacob" adds yet another layer to our understanding. Through intricate details and masterful technique, Gheyn breathes life into this character from antiquity once more.
