EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate engraving of DORɬ Gustave's work from the 1866 edition of La Sainte Bible. The scene depicted is that of the angel of the Maccabees, a powerful and majestic figure overseeing a group engaged in battle. The horizontal composition allows for every detail to be appreciated, from the fierce horses charging into combat to the angelic beings hovering above. Dore's skill as an engraver is evident in this piece, with each figure rendered with precision and emotion. The intensity of the fight is palpable, as armed forces clash and wrestlers grapple for dominance on the battlefield. The archangel stands out amongst them all, wielding a shield and lance with authority. The somber undertones of death are also present in this engraving, as fallen soldiers lay scattered across the ground. The funereal atmosphere adds depth to this biblical scene, reminding viewers of the sacrifices made in times of war. Overall, this print serves as a testament to DORɬ Gustave's talent and creativity in bringing sacred Christian writings to life through his engravings. It is a captivating glimpse into a moment of conflict and faith captured within the pages of history.
