"Jacob's Dream" is a 17th-century engraving by the German artist Johann Wilhelm Baur, also known as Hans Wilhelm Baur or Bauer. This work of art depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Genesis (28:10-19), in which Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, experiences a divine vision as he rests during his journey to Haran. In his dream, Jacob sees a ladder or staircase reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it, and at the top stands God, who reiterates the Abrahamic promise of land and blessings to Jacob's descendants.

Baur's representation of this scene is notable for its intricate detail and the fusion of Baroque sensibilities with the earlier Mannerist style. The engraving is part of a series of illustrations Baur created for a Bible published in the 17th century, which was a common practice at the time for artists to contribute to visual interpretations of biblical narratives.

Johann Wilhelm Baur (1607–1642) was a versatile artist known for his work as an engraver, painter, and draughtsman. His oeuvre includes a wide range of subjects, from mythological and historical scenes to landscapes and architectural views. Baur's "Jacob's Dream" stands as a testament to his skill in engraving and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art.

The engraving is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual culture of the Baroque period, reflecting the era's interest in dramatic narrative and the interplay of the human and divine. "Jacob's Dream" by Johann Wilhelm Baur remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, religion, and culture in early modern Europe.
