About the piece
Painted in 1639, 'Jacob’s Dream' showcases Jusepe de Ribera's exceptional command of light and shadow. The work depicts the sleeping figure with grounded, earthy realism, contrasted by the ethereal golden light in the upper right representing the ladder to heaven. Its moody atmosphere and masterful brushwork represent the height of 17th-century European painting.
