Jacob Wrestles with the Angel | Gustave Doré | 1873 14th Century Their entwined bodies and strained

Their entwined bodies and strained expressions convey maternal anguish and looming loss

creating a deeply reflective scene filled with solitude

He did however succeed in his efforts later in the year when Shepherds Find Zenobia on the Banks of the Araxes won the consolation second prize of the year

Perhaps Schenck's most famous painting

highlighting the angel's serene presence and Jesus's expression of deep sorrow and contemplation

Jacob Wrestles with the Angel | Gustave Doré | 1873 14th Century Their entwined bodies and strainedA 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. Below them, a shadowed landscape stretches into the distance, adding a quiet sense of scale and isolation to this biblical encounter. Print: A premium quality heavyweight
