EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gustave Dore, titled "Archangel Gabriel, instrument of God, smiting the camp of Sennacherib and the Assyrians" transports viewers to a biblical scene filled with power and divine intervention. Created in 1865-1866 as part of Dore's Bible series, this wood engraving depicts a pivotal moment from II Kings 19. In this dramatic portrayal, Archangel Gabriel takes center stage as he unleashes his might upon the camp of Sennacherib and the Assyrians. With wings outstretched and an expression of determination on his face, Gabriel embodies both strength and righteousness. The fear-inducing impact is palpable as chaos ensues within the enemy's encampment. Dore's attention to detail brings this ancient story to life. Every figure in the print conveys a sense of awe at witnessing such divine retribution. Through skillful use of shading and contrast, Dore captures not only physical battles but also spiritual significance. This artwork speaks to its audience on multiple levels - it serves as a testament to faith for Christians while resonating with those familiar with Judaism or other religious traditions that draw inspiration from the Old Testament. It also showcases Dore's mastery in capturing intense emotions through intricate engravings. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with stories that explore concepts like justice, redemption, and ultimate triumph over evil forces.
