About the piece

Painted around 1700 by Pierre Patel, this oil-on-panel work captures the biblical scene of Jacob wrestling the angel set within an expansive, atmospheric landscape. The composition utilizes a dramatic transition from the shadowed, detailed foliage of the foreground to the ethereal, hazy blue mountains in the distance, typical of the French classical landscape tradition.
