description: As recounted in the Old Testament book of Genesis, on his way to Haran, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">jacob</u> lay down in the wilderness to sleep, resting his head on a stone. He dreamed of angels ascending and descending a stairway or <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">ladder</u> to heaven (here depicted as a monumental Renaissance-style staircase). God then appeared and blessed <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">jacob</u> and his descendants. This large panel, apparently intended for a ceiling, was done by the painter, architect, and author Giorgio Vasari for the Florentine Marsilio degli Albizi in 1558. The figures of God the Father and <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">jacob</u> are based on famous frescoes by Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Raphael (1483-1520) in the Vatican. Vasari wrote the first history of Italian art, in which he praised these Roman frescoes as the culmination of the art of painting. His references to them in his painting are another form of homage.

description: The Old Testament patriarch <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">jacob</u> was sleeping outdoors (Genesis 27) and dreamed that he saw a golden <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">ladder</u> reaching to heaven upon which angels ascended and descended, foretelling the greatness of his descendants. The composition is based on an engraving of 1582-83 after a drawing by Martin de Vos (1532-1603), the most influential Antwerp painter and designer for prints of his time. The blue, star-studded sky establishes a nighttime setting. The combination of semi-opaque and translucent enamels-in particular the patches of clear red-creates a brilliant coloristic effect that draws attention to the surface. The format conforms to the earlier "Plaque with Christ Carrying the Cross", but the technique is closer to that of Suzanne de Court's "Plaque with the Annunciation" of ca. 1600.
