EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a moment of intense struggle and divine encounter. The painting, titled "Jacob Wrestling with the Angel" depicts an iconic biblical scene that has captivated artists for centuries. The artist, Bartholomeus Breenbergh, skillfully captures the raw emotion and physicality of Jacob's wrestling match with an angel along a desolate road. Jacob's determination is palpable as he grapples with his celestial opponent. His mantle and staff lie abandoned on the ground, symbolizing his vulnerability in this spiritual battle. As our eyes wander beyond the central figures, we catch a glimpse of a distant city to the right. It serves as a reminder that even amidst personal struggles, life continues to unfold outside this extraordinary encounter. Breenbergh's masterful use of oil paint brings depth and texture to every brushstroke. The play of light and shadow adds drama to this profound moment between mortal man and heavenly being. This print invites us to reflect on our own wrestlings - both literal and metaphorical - with forces greater than ourselves. It reminds us that within these struggles lies potential for growth, transformation, and ultimately finding peace within ourselves. Whether displayed in a private collection or shared publicly in galleries or museums around the world, this remarkable artwork continues to inspire viewers through its timeless depiction of human resilience in face-to-face encounters with divinity.
