"Jacob's Dream" (1639) is a significant oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This work is an exemplar of Ribera's mastery in depicting religious and mythological subjects with a dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the Tenebrist style that emerged during the Baroque period. The painting illustrates the biblical episode from the Book of Genesis (28:10-19), where Jacob, the patriarch, experiences a divine vision as he rests during his journey to Haran.

In the painting, Ribera captures the moment of Jacob's dream, in which he sees a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it, and receives God's promise of blessing and land. Ribera's interpretation of this scene is noted for its emotional intensity and the physical realism of Jacob's figure, which reflects the artist's interest in naturalism and his skillful rendering of human anatomy. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, further enhances the spiritual and mystical qualities of the scene, drawing the viewer into the depth of Jacob's visionary experience.

"Jacob's Dream" is a testament to Ribera's ability to convey complex theological themes through powerful imagery and is considered one of his important contributions to Baroque art. The painting is also indicative of the cultural exchange between Italy, where Ribera spent most of his career, and his native Spain, as it embodies the synthesis of Caravaggesque influences and the Spanish penchant for mysticism and piety. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a notable art collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within Ribera's oeuvre and the broader context of 17th-century European art.
