EDITORS COMMENTS
Jacob's Dream, an exquisite oil painting by Carlo Dolci, captures a profound moment of spiritual revelation. In this artwork, measuring 27x33.2 cm and housed in a private collection, Dolci skillfully brings to life the biblical story from the Book of Genesis. The scene unfolds at night, enveloped in darkness and mystery. Jacob, portrayed with brown hair and a distinguished mustache, is depicted dozing with his head resting on his arm. As he slumbers, an ethereal vision appears before him - angels ascending and descending a heavenly ladder. Dolci's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; the delicate expressions on the faces of both Jacob and the bystander evoke deep contemplation. The artist masterfully uses light and shadow to create a dreamlike atmosphere that transports viewers into this sacred moment. This Baroque masterpiece showcases Dolci's exceptional talent as an Italian artist of the seventeenth century. His meticulous rendering of clothing and facial features adds depth to each character portrayed. The rich colors used throughout the composition further enhance its emotional impact. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured beautifully by eChristies Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the power of dreams as conduits for divine communication. Through Dolci's artistry, we witness Jacob's encounter with God’s message unfolding before our eyes.
