This painting by Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano depicts the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with the angel. The scene portrays the intense struggle between Jacob and the angel, with both figures engaged in a fierce embrace. The angel's wings, rendered with dramatic realism, are spread wide, creating a sense of motion and energy. The painting's dynamic composition and expressive figures showcase Giordano's mastery of dramatic storytelling, characteristic of the Baroque style. Giordano's artwork, created during the 17th century, reflects a strong interest in the portrayal of human emotions and the divine, echoing the themes central to Baroque art.
