EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th-century artwork depicting a pivotal moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis. This enchanting print, created around 1690, is a testament to the rich symbolism and storytelling power of religious art. At the heart of the image, we find the patriarch Jacob, an old man with a determined expression, locked in a fierce struggle with a radiant angel. Jacob's garment is pulled from his shoulders, revealing his muscular frame as he clings to the angel with all his might. The angel, with wings outstretched, exudes an ethereal beauty and divine power. This scene represents Jacob's encounter with the divine at the Jabbok River, as recounted in Genesis 32:22-32. Jacob, having returned from his long exile, was anxious about his reunion with his estranged brother Esau. In the stillness of the night, he was confronted by a mysterious figure, whom he later came to understand was an angel. Despite Jacob's fear and exhaustion, he refused to let go of the angel until he received a blessing. In the end, the angel granted Jacob's request and bestowed upon him a new name, Israel, meaning "he who struggles with God." This encounter marked a significant turning point in Jacob's life, symbolizing his transformation from a deceiver into a man of faith. The intricate details of this print, from the rippling water of the Jabbok River to the intricately patterned robes, serve to bring this biblical story to life. The powerful contrast between the human struggle and the divine presence creates a captivating and thought-provoking image that continues to resonate with viewers today.
