Jacob Wrestling with the Angel - Leon Bonnat Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Two bodies lock together in Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, a tawny figure pressed to a cream-pale one whose head tilts back beside an ochre wing like a spark off a blacksmith's anvil. French academic painters usually settled a composition in a sketch. And the writer Théophile Gautier praised Leon Bonnat's lack of surface finish: raw ridges of cream with loaded strokes of French oil thick as butter on a loaf.

Genesis calls Jacob's opponent a man and the prophet Hosea calls him an angel. Their match running all night at the Jabbok ford, until the stranger renames Jacob Israel. Bonnat leaves the water out of this angel painting and focuses on the wings, the left ochre and straw, dry as a threshed sheaf, the right cream at the crest and raw sienna below. While madder, the dyer's root, pools between the torsos like dye in a vat.

On a stairwell wall, the print unfolds bottom first as you climb: heaped cream, then the locked bodies, then the wings above them. While afternoon sun in a sunroom sets the wings of this print glowing against cool cerulean, and the coral smear looks warm enough to touch.
