"Jacob Wrestling with the Angel" is an 1855 engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations. This work is part of a series of engravings that Doré created for a deluxe edition of the 1843 French translation of the Vulgate Bible, known as La Grande Bible de Tours. The scene depicts the biblical episode from Genesis 32:22-32, where Jacob, the patriarch, engages in a mysterious struggle with an angel or a divine being.

In Doré's interpretation, the intense nocturnal struggle is rendered with dramatic effect, highlighting the physicality and spiritual significance of the encounter. The composition captures the moment of Jacob's perseverance as he wrestles until dawn, refusing to release his opponent until he receives a blessing. This event is a pivotal moment in the biblical narrative, leading to Jacob's renaming as "Israel," which means "he who struggles with God."

Doré's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the work, as is his ability to convey the emotional and psychological depth of the characters. The engraving is characterized by its intricate detail and dynamic movement, which are hallmarks of Doré's illustrative style. "Jacob Wrestling with the Angel" is not only a representation of a significant religious story but also an example of Doré's contribution to the visual arts and his impact on the interpretation of biblical scenes in the 19th century. The piece remains an influential work in the study of religious art and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and theological depth.
