EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Jacob's Dream of a Stairway Leading to Heaven with God at the Top" is a masterpiece created by the renowned French artist Gustave Dore in 1865-1866. Inspired by the biblical story from Genesis 28:12, this wood engraving beautifully captures Jacob's visionary experience. In this ethereal scene, we witness Jacob lying on the ground, his head resting on a stone pillow as he dreams. A magnificent stairway ascends towards heaven, bathed in heavenly light that illuminates every step. Atop this celestial staircase stands God Himself, radiating divine power and wisdom. Dore's meticulous attention to detail brings this spiritual encounter to life. The intricate engravings depict each step of the stairway with precision while conveying an otherworldly atmosphere filled with awe and wonder. This artwork serves as a powerful metaphor for humanity's connection to the divine realm. It reminds us that even in our most ordinary moments - like sleeping under open skies - we can be touched by extraordinary visions and experiences that connect us to something greater than ourselves. Gustave Dore's masterful interpretation of Jacob's dream continues to inspire viewers across generations, inviting contemplation about faith, spirituality, and our place within the grand tapestry of existence.
