"The Vision After the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel)" is an 1888 painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. This work is notable for its bold use of color and its departure from traditional representation, reflecting Gauguin's interest in symbolism and his desire to convey spiritual and emotional experiences through art.

The painting depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Genesis, where Jacob wrestles with an angel. However, Gauguin presents this event as a vision experienced by a group of Breton women after a sermon. The women, dressed in traditional Breton attire, are shown in the foreground, their heads bowed in prayer. The wrestling scene unfolds in the background, separated by a diagonal tree trunk that divides the composition.

Gauguin's use of color is striking, with a vivid red ground dominating the canvas, creating a sense of otherworldliness and intensity. The figures of Jacob and the angel are rendered in simplified forms, emphasizing the symbolic nature of the scene rather than realistic detail. This approach reflects Gauguin's interest in the spiritual and mystical aspects of human experience, as well as his desire to break away from the conventions of Impressionism.

The painting was created during Gauguin's stay in Pont-Aven, Brittany, where he was influenced by the region's rural landscape and its deeply religious culture. "The Vision After the Sermon" is considered a key work in Gauguin's development as an artist, showcasing his move towards a more abstract and symbolic style that would later influence movements such as Symbolism and Primitivism.

Today, the painting is housed in the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, where it continues to be celebrated for its innovative approach and its exploration of the relationship between reality and imagination.
