Gustave Dore is my favorite, I love that piece he did of Jacob fighting the angel
Same, I love all of Dores work, the way he shows light and form is just astounding
Someone pointed out to me tho that it looks like the angel is playing 'stop hitting yourself' with the angel and now I cant unsee it
That’s honestly hilarious and now that’s all I am going to think about when I see it 😂
