EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Gustave Dore's interpretation of Jacob's dream as described in Genesis 28:12. The wood engraving, created for the Bible in 1865-66, beautifully depicts a stairway leading to heaven with God at the top. In this profound biblical scene, Jacob is seen resting on a stone pillow while asleep. As he dreams, a magnificent staircase emerges before him, reaching up towards the heavens. Each step seems to transcend earthly boundaries and beckon towards divine realms. At the pinnacle of this celestial staircase stands God Himself, radiating an ethereal light that illuminates the entire composition. His presence exudes power and majesty, reminding viewers of His omnipotence and role as the ultimate guide between heaven and earth. This artwork not only showcases Gustave Dore's exceptional talent as an engraver but also serves as a visual representation of faith and spirituality found within Judeo-Christian traditions. It invites contemplation about our own connection with divinity and reminds us that there is always a pathway to reach higher spiritual planes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Jacob's encounter with God through his dream - an encounter that transformed his life forever. This image continues to inspire believers across generations by symbolizing hope, guidance, and the eternal bond between humanity and its Creator.
