EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis, as Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, experiences a remarkable vision during a restful slumber. In the image, Jacob is shown lying on a rock, with his head resting on a stone pillow, surrounded by the wilderness. Above him, an ethereal ladder stretches towards the heavens, connecting the earthly and divine realms. Angels of God ascend and descend the ladder, symbolizing the communication between God and His people. Jacob, deeply moved by this vision, declares the site as a place of divine encounter, naming it Bethel, which means 'house of God.' This powerful image from Genesis 28:10-22 has been a source of inspiration for generations, representing the connection between the human spirit and the divine, and the promise of God's presence in our lives. The intricately detailed print, created around 1690, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the 17th century. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the image, while the delicate rendering of the angels and Jacob's expression conveys a sense of awe and reverence. This print invites us to reflect on the profound significance of Jacob's vision and the enduring power of the Old Testament stories to inspire and uplift us.
