Samson Destroys the Philistines with an Ass' Jawbone 

This wood engraving, created by Gustave Doré, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Samson. "Samson Destroys the Philistines with an Ass' Jawbone" shows Samson, a powerful Israelite, wielding the jawbone of a donkey to slay his enemies, the Philistines, who are falling from a cliff and retreating from the battle. Doré, renowned for his dramatic illustrations, captures the intensity and violence of the biblical narrative with dynamic figures and a sense of chaotic energy. His detailed and emotive style brought the Bible to life for a wide audience in the 19th century.
