Jacob's Dream is a historically notable painting created by the German artist Johann Rottenhammer in the late 16th century. The artwork centers around the biblical story of Jacob's dream of a ladder reaching to heaven found in Genesis 28:10–19.

In the painting, Rottenhammer depicts a tranquil scene of sleep with the figure of Jacob sprawled on rough terrain, underscoring his vulnerable state as a wanderer. The central motif is the incomprehensible vision of a ladder reaching the heavens, with angels ascending and descending, arguably signifying the connection between God and man.

Rottenhammer, known for his fusion of German and Italian stylistic elements, employs careful detailing and vibrant, ethereal color palette in this painting to foster a sense of intrigue, fascination, and spiritual depth. The influence of his Venetian training under Hans Rottenhammer is particularly evident in the related background landscape, demonstrating his stylistic propensity towards merging religious marvels and natural phenomena.

The painting is housed in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, Germany, where it continues to draw interest from art scholars and enthusiasts for its historical and religious significance. While the exact date of its creation is not known, it broadly falls within Rottenhammer's period of creative activity, between his arrival in Venice in 1590 and his death in 1625.

Jacob's Dream is a manifestation of Rottenhammer's meticulous craftsmanship, his spiritual concerns, and his adept amalgamation of stylistic preferences. His illustration of this significant biblical story adds to our understanding of religious iconography in the late Renaissance period. Although smaller in size compared to other Renaissance works, its rich detailing and complex subject matter make it a significant contribution to the oeuvre of Rottenhammer and the genre of religious visual narrative in art history.
