EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable 16th-century artwork titled "Jacob's Dream". Created by Kellerhoven in 1849, this illustration depicts a powerful Old Testament scene where Jacob dreams of angels ascending and descending a heavenly ladder. The original miniature can be found in King Henry II of France's book of hours, now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. The chromolithograph, featured in Volume 2 of "Le Moyen Age Et La Renaissance" edited by Paul Lacroix with artistic direction by Ferdinand Sere, beautifully captures the essence of this religious narrative. Asleep under the night sky, Jacob is immersed in his dream world as celestial beings gracefully traverse between heaven and earth on an ethereal ladder. With meticulous attention to detail, the monochrome lithograph brings out every intricate element from the original manuscript. This stunning piece seamlessly combines elements from both the 16th and 19th centuries to create a timeless representation of faith and spirituality. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back through time to witness Jacob's profound encounter with divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our slumbering state, extraordinary visions can unfold before us – bridging earthly existence with heavenly realms.
