"Esau and Jacob" (1630) is a notable oil painting by the French Baroque artist Michel I Corneille (1601–1664), who was also known as Michel Corneille the Elder. This work of art depicts the biblical story of the twin brothers Esau and Jacob, sons of Isaac and Rebekah, from the Book of Genesis. The narrative captured in the painting is a pivotal moment where Jacob, with the guidance of his mother, deceives his father Isaac to receive the blessing meant for his elder brother Esau, thus securing his place as the progenitor of the Israelites.

The painting is a striking example of Corneille's artistic style, which was influenced by the dramatic intensity and dynamism of the Italian Baroque movement. In "Esau and Jacob," Corneille masterfully employs chiaroscuro to enhance the emotional depth of the scene and to focus the viewer's attention on the central figures. The composition is carefully orchestrated to convey the tension and the high stakes of the deception taking place.

Michel Corneille was an influential figure in the French art scene of the 17th century. He was a founding member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1648 and played a significant role in the development of French art during his time. "Esau and Jacob" is considered an important work within Corneille's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in narrative painting and his ability to translate complex biblical stories into compelling visual representations.

The painting is held in a notable collection, and it has been the subject of scholarly attention for its artistic merit and its representation of the themes of deceit, familial conflict, and divine providence. "Esau and Jacob" (1630) remains a significant contribution to the canon of French Baroque painting, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the period as well as the enduring legacy of Michel I Corneille's artistic achievements.
