From ancient frescoes to intricate engravings, artists have captured the essence of this biblical narrative.

Another painting from around 1514 portrays "The Prophet Job" himself, his face etched with both pain and resilience. This masterpiece captures the inner strength that enabled him to endure unimaginable hardships. An engraving titled "Anglo Saxon men in tunica and Job in coaxalia" transports us back to 1796, showcasing how different cultures interpreted this timeless tale.

"Dick the Dustman, " an engraving capturing everyday life, shows how ordinary people relate to this extraordinary story.
