Death of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, Greek king of the Seleucid Empire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the death of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the Greek king of the Seleucid Empire. Painted by Gustave Dore in 1866 for his series of wood engravings illustrating the Bible de Tours, this artwork portrays a significant event that occurred between 175 BC and 164 BC. Antiochus IV's demise came as a consequence of his persecution against the Jews living in Judea and Samaria, which led to their rebellion under the leadership of the Jewish Maccabees. The intense battle scene depicted here showcases an epic clash between opposing forces on a tumultuous battlefield. Horses charge forward with determination while soldiers confront each other fiercely. Dore's masterful use of engraving techniques brings this historical moment to life, capturing both its intensity and religious significance. The dark clouds looming overhead add an ominous atmosphere to the scene, symbolizing impending doom or divine intervention. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of ancient conflicts but also how religion played a vital role during those times. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring struggle for freedom and faith.
