The Lions Attacking in Samaria - A Glimpse into Biblical Ferocity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1870, where we find ourselves immersed in a scene of intense drama and divine symbolism. Taken from "The Dore Gallery" by Edmund Ollier, this antique engraving showcases Gustave Doré's masterful illustration skills. In this engraved image, we witness a biblical moment unfolding before our eyes. The lions, fierce and mighty, are seen attacking with unyielding force in the ancient city of Samaria. As we delve deeper into the artwork's intricate details, it becomes evident that there is more than meets the eye. Doré's etching skillfully combines elements from Dante's epic poem "The Divine Comedy" and Christian theology. Through his monoprint technique, he captures not only the physical prowess of these lion felines but also their symbolic representation as beasts within religious contexts. As viewers gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, they can't help but ponder its profound implications. Is it an allegory for spiritual battles fought within oneself? Or does it serve as a reminder of Jesus Christ's triumph over evil? Regardless of interpretation, one thing remains certain – this exquisite engraving serves as a testament to both Doré's artistic genius and humanity's enduring fascination with religion and mythology. It stands as an awe-inspiring reminder that even centuries-old works can continue to captivate hearts and minds today.
