"The Meeting of Jacob and Rachel" is a painting by the 19th-century Scottish artist William Dyce (1806–1864), known for his contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and his works that often reflect religious and historical themes. This particular painting, created in 1853, depicts the biblical story from the Book of Genesis, where Jacob meets Rachel at the well and falls in love with her at first sight.

In the narrative, Jacob, the son of Isaac and Rebecca, travels to the land of his mother's family and encounters Rachel, the daughter of Laban, as she arrives to water her father's sheep. The scene captures the moment of their meeting, with Jacob helping to roll the stone from the well, a task typically performed by several shepherds together, to impress Rachel. This act of service and strength marks the beginning of Jacob's long and complicated relationship with Rachel, for whom he would eventually work fourteen years to marry.

Dyce's painting is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of rich, vibrant colors, which were hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, although Dyce was not formally a member. The artist's interest in the precise rendering of nature and his commitment to depicting his subjects with historical accuracy are evident in the work. The figures are dressed in clothing that Dyce researched to be appropriate for the period, and the landscape reflects a careful study of the natural environment.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of Victorian values and the era's interest in biblical stories as moral exemplars. "The Meeting of Jacob and Rachel" is a testament to Dyce's skill in combining the historical with the personal, creating a scene that is both grand in its historical narrative and intimate in its portrayal of human emotion.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide, where it continues to be appreciated by audiences for its historical significance and its aesthetic beauty.
