EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from the renowned Dore Bible, created by Gustave Dore in 1866. This powerful image depicts a dramatic scene from the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament. In this biblical tale, Dathan and his brother Abiram rebel against Moses and Aaron's leadership. As punishment for their defiance, the earth opens up beneath them, swallowing not only these rebellious figures but also their houses. The intensity of this divine retribution is vividly portrayed through Dore's masterful engraving. Dore's illustrations for La Grande Bible de Tours were immensely popular during his time and continue to captivate audiences today. His attention to detail and ability to convey emotion are evident in every stroke of his engraver's tool. This particular print showcases a chaotic battlefield scene with billowing smoke and a large group of people witnessing the tragic demise of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. It highlights themes such as faith, consequences for disobedience, and divine justice. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to ancient times when religious beliefs shaped societies' values and actions. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, lessons can be learned from these timeless tales found within sacred texts.
