EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jacques Stella's masterpiece, "Jacob's Ladder" created around 1650. Painted with oil on onyx, this artwork measures 22.5x33 cm and is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California. Inspired by the biblical story from Genesis, Stella beautifully captures Jacob's profound dream while he lay sleeping in the wilderness. Resting his head upon a stone pillow, Jacob witnesses a breathtaking vision of angels ascending and descending a heavenly ladder. It is at this moment that God appears before him to bless both Jacob and his future generations. The painting exudes a sense of religious devotion as it depicts elements such as wings, Bethel (the house of God), and an angelic flock. The baroque style combined with classical influences creates a timeless aesthetic that resonates with viewers even today. Stella skillfully portrays the divine connection between heaven and earth through this striking composition. The image evokes feelings of tranquility as we witness Jacob peacefully asleep amidst his sheep while being enveloped by the ethereal presence of angels. This extraordinary piece invites contemplation about faith, destiny, and our place within the grand design of creation. It serves as a reminder that even in our most vulnerable moments, there is always hope for divine intervention and blessings beyond imagination.
