EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts a powerful scene of Jacob struggling with an angel by the river Jabbok. In the background, we can see Jacob's fellow travelers observing this intense encounter (as described in Genesis 32:24). The print is adorned with captions in Hebrew, Latin, French, English, German, and Dutch. Jacob wrestles relentlessly with the angel until daybreak. During their struggle, Jacob's thigh is dislocated but he remains determined. Eventually, he sends his family and caravan across the river while an angel holding a trumpet praises them for their bravery. The Holy Spirit appears as a dove alongside the Lamb of God in the backdrop. Created by Gilliam van der Gouwen in 1728 using paper and etching techniques, this remarkable artwork measures 216 mm wide and 353 mm high. It beautifully captures both the physical intensity of Jacob's struggle and its spiritual significance. The inclusion of various languages on this print highlights its universal appeal and emphasizes how this biblical story transcends cultural boundaries. This extraordinary piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as perseverance, faithfulness, divine intervention, and personal transformation
