EDITORS COMMENTS
The Archangel Michael and his angels engage in a fierce battle against the menacing dragon, as captured by Gustave Dore in 1865-1866. This powerful wood engraving from Dore's Bible series depicts a pivotal moment described in Revelation 12:1, where the forces of good confront evil head-on. In this scene, we witness the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms, observing the celestial clash from Heaven above. The monochrome print showcases Dore's mastery of intricate details and dramatic contrasts between light and shadow. Dore's artwork transcends religious boundaries, resonating with audiences across different faiths. It symbolizes the eternal struggle between good and evil that exists within human existence itself. The archangel Michael stands tall as he wields his mighty sword against the mythical beast, embodying courage and righteousness. This nineteenth-century masterpiece reflects France's rich artistic heritage while also drawing inspiration from biblical narratives deeply rooted in Judaism and Christianity. Its timeless message reminds us to remain steadfast in our fight against darkness, armed with faith and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Gustave Dore, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual enlightenment amidst tumultuous times. It serves as a testament to the power of art to inspire contemplation on profound themes such as war, religion, mythology, and ultimately reaffirms our belief in triumph over adversity.
