EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the Old Testament: God creating light. Taken from Gustave Dore's illustrated Bible, published in 1866, this wood engraving beautifully depicts the divine act of bringing illumination to the world. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship of Dore's work are evident in every stroke of this piece. The artist's deep understanding of biblical narratives is showcased as he skillfully portrays God's power and creativity through his artistry. In this scene, we witness God hovering over a dark void, preparing to bring forth light into existence. His outstretched arms radiate with energy as rays of light burst forth from his fingertips, illuminating the darkness below. The intensity and brilliance captured within this image evoke a sense of awe and wonder at the magnitude of God's creation. Dore's wood engraving not only serves as a visual representation but also invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, spirituality, and our place within the grand design of life itself. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness or uncertainty, there is always hope for new beginnings and enlightenment. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us be inspired by its profound message – that just as God created light out of darkness all those years ago, so too can we find strength and purpose amidst life's challenges.
