EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, created by the talented artist Gustave Dore in 1866, we are transported back to a biblical scene from Genesis 29. The image depicts Jacob, diligently tending to Laban's flocks in a serene countryside setting. As he goes about his duties with his trusty crook in hand, something catches his eye at the well. And there she is - Rachel, a vision of beauty and grace. With her water jar delicately balanced on her shoulder, she stands near the well drawing water. Jacob's heart skips a beat as he gazes upon her radiant presence. This wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of love at first sight and the power of attraction that transcends time. It symbolizes not only an encounter between two individuals but also represents themes of faith and destiny found within Christianity and Judaism. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this nineteenth-century masterpiece while highlighting its timeless quality. Every detail is meticulously etched into the print - from the sheep grazing peacefully nearby to Rachel's elegant attire. As we admire this remarkable work of art by Gustave Dore, we are reminded of our own encounters with love and how they shape our lives. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily routines or when least expected, true love can find us just like it did for Jacob at that ancient well so long ago.
