EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Jacob and Rachel. Created by renowned artist Gustave Dore in 1866, this wood engraving beautifully depicts the scene described in Genesis 29. In this image, we see Jacob diligently tending to Laban's flocks at a well. As he goes about his duties, his gaze is suddenly drawn towards a young woman approaching the well. It is Rachel, Laban's daughter, who will become Jacob's beloved wife. Dore masterfully portrays the emotions of surprise and awe on Jacob's face as he lays eyes upon Rachel for the first time. The intricate details of their clothing and expressions bring this ancient tale to life with remarkable clarity and depth. The wood material used in this engraving adds an element of warmth and texture to the artwork, enhancing its timeless appeal. Dore's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of drama that further immerses us in this significant encounter. As we contemplate this stunning piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also of its profound religious significance. This print serves as a visual reminder of one man's journey towards love and fulfillment within the context of faith and divine providence. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this extraordinary artwork from Gustave Dore’s illustrated Bible collection so that it may continue to inspire viewers with its beauty for generations to come.
