"Vision After the Sermon; Jacob Wrestling with the Angel" is a renowned oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, completed in 1888. This work is significant for its bold use of color and its departure from the naturalistic representation of the world, which were both hallmarks of Gauguin's pioneering style that influenced the Symbolist movement in art. The painting is notable for its depiction of a religious vision experienced by a group of Breton women after a sermon, which is a reflection of Gauguin's interest in spirituality and the depiction of inner experiences.

The painting portrays the biblical scene of Jacob wrestling with an angel, as described in Genesis 32:22-32. Gauguin sets this scene apart from the real world by using a bright red background, which serves to distinguish the visionary experience from the physical space occupied by the women. The women, dressed in traditional Breton costumes, are shown on the left side of the painting, separated from the biblical struggle by the trunk of a tree, which acts as a compositional device to divide the canvas.

Gauguin's use of color, form, and composition in "Vision After the Sermon" was a significant departure from the Impressionist focus on the transient effects of light and atmosphere. Instead, Gauguin emphasized the emotional and symbolic content of the image, using flat areas of color and bold outlines, which would later be associated with the Cloisonnism style. The painting's synthesis of the real and the visionary, its exploration of religious themes, and its innovative aesthetic make it an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre and a key example of Post-Impressionist art.

"Vision After the Sermon" is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its influence can be seen in the work of later artists, including the Nabis and the Expressionists, who drew inspiration from Gauguin's approach to color, symbolism, and the representation of non-visible realities.
