"The Meeting of Jacob and Esau," created by Gustave Doré, is a black and white wood engraving depicting a scene from the Bible's Book of Genesis. The scene illustrates the moment when Esau, the elder brother of Jacob, runs to meet his brother after twenty years of estrangement. The emotional intensity of the meeting is emphasized by the embrace of the two brothers, who are surrounded by their families and servants. The scene is set in a landscape with palm trees, which adds a sense of drama and grandeur to the composition. Doré's work is notable for its detail and realism, which he achieved through his meticulous engraving technique. The artist was known for his illustrations of biblical and literary works, and his work is often considered to be an example of the Romantic style.
