"Jacob's Encounter with Rachel" is a fresco by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael. It is part of a series of frescoes painted by Raphael and his workshop in the Stanza di Eliodoro (Room of Heliodorus) in the Vatican Palace. The fresco depicts the biblical story of Jacob meeting Rachel at the well, as recounted in the Book of Genesis. This scene is celebrated for its portrayal of human emotion and the beauty of the landscape that serves as its backdrop.

The fresco is located on the northern wall of the room and is one of four that illustrate episodes from the Old Testament involving divine intervention. Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate the rooms that are now known as the Raphael Rooms, and he worked on them from 1509 until his death in 1520. While Raphael himself designed the overall composition and painted significant portions of the frescoes, his pupils and assistants, such as Giulio Romano and Giovanni Francesco Penni, executed parts of the work under his supervision.

In "Jacob's Encounter with Rachel," Raphael employs a harmonious color palette and demonstrates his skill in the use of perspective to create a sense of depth. The figures are arranged in a serene landscape that reflects the influence of the classical tradition and Raphael's study of the works of Leonardo da Vinci. The fresco captures the moment of Jacob's arrival at the well, where he first sees Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and offers to roll the stone from the well's mouth to water her father's flock.

The fresco is notable for its depiction of human interaction and the tender emotions visible on the faces of the central figures, which convey the instant connection between Jacob and Rachel. Raphael's mastery of composition and his ability to convey narrative through art make "Jacob's Encounter with Rachel" a significant work in the canon of Renaissance painting.

The fresco has been studied extensively by art historians and is often cited as an example of Raphael's mature style, which combines the grandeur of Roman art with the grace and clarity characteristic of the High Renaissance. As part of the Vatican's artistic heritage, "Jacob's Encounter with Rachel" continues to be admired for its artistic achievement and its enduring portrayal of a timeless biblical story.
