EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound significance from the biblical story of Christ's resurrection. In this wood engraving by Gustave Dore, we witness an angel revealing the empty tomb to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, as described in Mark 16:5. The delicate details and intricate lines of Dore's work bring this scene to life, showcasing his exceptional talent as both an engraver and artist. The image transports us back to the 19th century when Dore created this masterpiece for his illustrated Bible. His use of wood material adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of France's rich artistic heritage, as Dore was a renowned French painter. The presence of angels in religious art has always held great symbolism, representing divine messengers or guardians. Here, the angel serves as a bridge between heaven and earth, delivering news that would forever change history – Christ's resurrection from death. Through this powerful image, we are invited to reflect on themes such as faith, hope, and redemption found within literature like the Bible. It is a testament not only to Gustave Dore's immense talent but also to the enduring power of religious narratives that continue to inspire generations worldwide.
