Beschreibung

In the biblical account found in Genesis, Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, spends a significant portion of his life working for his uncle Laban. During his time with Laban, Jacob tends to Laban's flocks as a shepherd, a role that becomes central to his story. Jacob's commitment to his work is exemplified by his diligence and resourcefulness in managing Laban's livestock. Despite facing various challenges and trials, including Laban's deceptive practices and changing agreements, Jacob perseveres in his responsibilities, demonstrating his resilience and determination. Through his labor, Jacob also builds his wealth and secures his own future, eventually becoming a patriarch of the Israelite nation. The narrative of Jacob keeping Laban's flocks portrays themes of hard work, perseverance, and divine providence, showcasing Jacob's journey from servitude to prosperity and eventual fulfillment of God's promises. Artist: Gustave Dore . Print Size: 9 3/4 ins x 7 3/4 ins Overall Size: 14 1/2 x 11 ins. 1870 Wood Engraving after the painting of Gustave Dore. Paul Gustave Dore (1832-1883), famous French illustrator, engraver, painter, and sculptor. He is best known for his highly imaginative and dramatic illustrations. At first he did his own engraving on wood, but as his success grew, his later work was done in collaboration with numerous engravers. His lively illustrations for some 120 books, including Paradise Lost, the Divine Comedy (1861), Don Quixote (1862), the Bible (1866), Balzac's Droll Tales, the works of Rabelais, the Fables of La Fontaine, and other classics, are still admired. He particularly excelled in weird, fantastic scenes. Less popular today are his works in painting and sculpture. This quality engraving originates from an 1870 art publication with a collection of plates, giving some idea of the variety as well as the power of Dore's genius.
