Jacob's Dream is a notable painting by the Spanish Tenebrist artist Jusepe de Ribera, who was active during the early 17th century. Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or by his Italianized name, Jusepe de Ribera, was a prominent figure in the Baroque movement, renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his intense, often somber, depictions of religious and mythological subjects.

Created around 1639, Jacob's Dream illustrates the biblical story from the Book of Genesis, where Jacob dreams of a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending upon it. This narrative has been a rich source of inspiration for artists throughout history, and Ribera's interpretation is particularly distinguished by its emotional depth and technical mastery.

In the painting, Ribera employs his characteristic tenebrist style, using stark contrasts between light and dark to create a powerful sense of drama and to draw the viewer's attention to the central elements of the composition. Jacob is depicted in a state of serene slumber, his body illuminated by a divine light that contrasts sharply with the surrounding darkness. The angels, rendered with ethereal delicacy, ascend and descend the ladder, symbolizing the connection between the earthly and the divine.

Ribera's Jacob's Dream is celebrated not only for its theological significance but also for its artistic excellence. The painting showcases Ribera's skill in rendering human anatomy and his ability to convey complex emotional states through facial expressions and body language. The use of light and shadow in the work exemplifies Ribera's mastery of tenebrism, a technique that he helped to popularize and that became a hallmark of Baroque art.

Jacob's Dream remains an important work within Ribera's oeuvre and a significant example of Baroque religious painting. It reflects the artist's deep engagement with biblical themes and his ability to translate these narratives into compelling visual form. The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and spiritual depth.
