"The Vision After the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel)" is a seminal painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, completed in 1888. This work is notable for its bold use of color, simplified forms, and the synthesis of reality with the artist's imagination, which became characteristic of Gauguin's style and had a profound influence on the development of modern art.

The painting depicts a scene from the Bible in which Jacob wrestles with an angel, as described in Genesis 32:22-32. However, Gauguin's interpretation is not a literal representation of the event. Instead, he presents it as a vision experienced by Breton women after a sermon in church, hence the title. The women, dressed in traditional Breton costumes, are shown on the left side of the painting, separated from the biblical scene by a diagonally placed tree trunk, which serves to divide the canvas into the real world and the visionary tableau.

Gauguin's use of color in "The Vision After the Sermon" is particularly striking, with the red ground dominating the composition and enhancing the spiritual and emotional intensity of the scene. The red field is not a realistic depiction of the natural world but rather an expression of the inner state of the figures and the fervor of their religious experience.

This painting is also an early example of Gauguin's departure from Impressionism and his move towards Symbolism, where the subject matter is a vehicle for conveying deeper meanings and emotions. The stylized forms, the flattening of space, and the disregard for perspective reflect Gauguin's interest in exploring the symbolic potential of painting and his desire to connect with the primal, spiritual aspects of life.

"The Vision After the Sermon" is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. It remains a pivotal work in Gauguin's oeuvre and is frequently cited in discussions of the Symbolist movement and the trajectory of modern art at the close of the 19th century.
