Elie smashes the idols of Baal, Illustration from the Dore Bible, 1866
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to biblical times as we witness a powerful moment of religious fervor. Created by Gustave Dore in 1866 for his renowned series of wood engravings, this illustration brings to life the dramatic scene where Elie fearlessly destroys the idols of Baal. Intricately detailed and masterfully executed, Dore's artwork transports us to ancient lands with its depiction of rugged cliffs and a flowing river. The composition is filled with symbolism; four animals stand nearby, representing different aspects of nature's power. Elie himself stands tall on horseback, spear in hand, embodying strength and determination. The light falling upon Elie highlights his righteous mission as he shatters these false gods. His act serves as a testament to his unwavering faith in Judaism and his commitment to upholding its teachings. Surrounding him are astonished onlookers who bear witness to this extraordinary event. Dore's engraving technique adds depth and texture to every element within the image – from the intricate details on each idol being smashed to the reflection in the calm waters below. This print captures not only an important biblical story but also showcases Dore's exceptional talent as an artist. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from "La Grande Bible de Tours" we are reminded of both our own spiritual journeys and humanity's enduring quest for truth amidst a crowded world filled with distractions.
