"Jacob Wrestling with the Angel" is a mural painting by French artist Eugène Delacroix, completed in 1861 as part of a series for the Chapel of the Holy Angels at the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, France. This work is one of Delacroix's last major projects and represents a culmination of his exploration into religious themes and his mastery of color and dynamic composition. The painting depicts the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with an angel, as described in the Book of Genesis (32:22-32).

In the narrative, Jacob is left alone one night and encounters a mysterious figure with whom he wrestles until dawn. The figure is commonly interpreted as an angel or a manifestation of God. The struggle ends with the angel touching Jacob's hip, causing him to limp, but also blessing him and giving him the name Israel, which means "he who struggles with God."

Delacroix's interpretation of this scene is noted for its emotional intensity and physicality. The artist conveys the struggle's ferocity through the use of dramatic lighting, vigorous brushwork, and a palette rich in contrasts. The figures are entangled in a dynamic embrace that suggests both conflict and unity, capturing the profound spiritual and psychological implications of the encounter.

The mural is part of a larger decorative scheme within the chapel, which also includes "The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple" and "Saint Michael Defeats the Devil," works that similarly explore themes of divine intervention and struggle. Delacroix's work in the Chapel of the Holy Angels is considered a significant contribution to the Romantic movement in art and a testament to the artist's religious convictions and his innovative approach to biblical subject matter.

As a prominent example of 19th-century French painting and a key work in Delacroix's oeuvre, "Jacob Wrestling with the Angel" continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to the history of art. The mural remains in situ at the Church of Saint-Sulpice, where it can be viewed by the public and serves as a lasting legacy of Delacroix's artistic and spiritual vision.
