Jacob Wrestles with the Angel | Gustave Doré | 1873 14th Century creating a deeply reflective sceneA dramatic moment is captured as Jacob struggles with a winged angel atop a rocky ledge, their bodies locked in a tense, almost suspended motion. Gustave Dors finely etched lines heighten the contrast between the human strain of Jacob and the calm, unwavering strength of the angel.
