The initial E in this illuminated manuscript depicts the iconic biblical scene of Jacob wrestling with an angel in his dream. Created by the talented artist William de Brailes around 1250, this illustration is a true testament to the artistic mastery of that era. The image transports us back to ancient times as we witness Jacob engaged in a fierce struggle with an ethereal being. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this mystical encounter between mortal and celestial forces. It is as if we can feel the tension and determination emanating from both figures.
