Nielsen for Royal Copenhagen "Jacob's Struggle"
Est: $500 - $1,000
Jais Nielsen (Danish, 1885-1961) for Royal Copenhagen, Denmark. Ceramic sculpture titled "Jacob's Struggle" depicting the biblical scene from the Book of Genesis in which Jacob wrestles the angel, early 20th century. Stoneware with a deeply purple, mulberry glaze. Impressed "JAIS" signature and numbered 20190 along the underside. Stamped with both Royal Copenhagen crown and wave form marks This sculpture depicts the biblical scene in which Jacob wrestles with an angel throughout the night, symbolizing both a physical and spiritual conflict. The dynamic pose captures Jacob's tension and determination, reflecting his inner turmoil. This narrative explores themes of perseverance, identity, and the search for blessings, culminating in Jacob's transformation and the changing of his name to "Israel". In Danish culture, this story resonates with the values of resilience and individualism, often reflected in the nation's artistic and literary traditions. Nielsen's work invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of human struggle and divine encounter through its expressive details and form, making the story particularly significant in the context of both its Danish maker and the Danish ceramic production company, Royal Copenhagen.
