EDITORS COMMENTS
El Sueño De Jacob, (Jacob's Dream), 1639, captures the profound spiritual experience of Jacob as depicted by Jusepe de Ribera. In this print, we witness Jacob, a shepherd in repose, leaning on his left shoulder against a majestic tree. The artist skillfully portrays the tranquility of sleep and rest on Jacob's face. In the background, an ethereal ladder bathed in radiant light emerges from the heavens. This is the very ladder that appears to Jacob in his dream – a symbol of divine connection between heaven and earth. Angels gracefully ascend and descend upon it, evoking a sense of awe-inspiring wonder. Ribera's masterful use of oil on canvas brings depth and texture to every brushstroke. The colors are richly vibrant yet harmoniously balanced, enhancing the overall impact of this Baroque masterpiece. This artwork not only showcases Ribera's technical prowess but also delves into themes of faith and spirituality prevalent during the seventeenth century. It serves as a visual representation of biblical narratives that continue to resonate with viewers today. Housed within Museo del Prado in Madrid, El Sueño De Jacob remains an enduring testament to Ribera's artistic genius and his ability to capture complex emotions through visual storytelling.
