EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's exquisite illustration of the biblical scene "Elijah nourished by an Angel". Taken from the renowned Dore Bible, published in 1866, this artwork beautifully captures a moment of divine intervention. In this scene, Elijah is depicted as he rests under a juniper tree, exhausted and in need of sustenance. Suddenly, an angel appears before him, gently touching his shoulder to awaken him. The angel presents Elijah with a freshly baked cake on hot coals and a cruse of water to quench his thirst. With gratitude and relief evident on his face, Elijah partakes in the nourishment provided by the heavenly messenger. Dore's masterful engraving technique brings depth and emotion to this powerful image. The intricate details highlight every fold in Elijah's robe and every strand of hair on the angel's head. Through skillful use of light and shadow, Dore creates a sense of ethereal beauty that transports viewers into this sacred moment. The impact of this illustration lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its spiritual significance. It serves as a reminder that even during our darkest moments when we feel depleted or lost, there is always hope for renewal through divine intervention. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a testament to faith and resilience—a timeless representation of humanity seeking solace amidst adversity.
