"An Angel Appears to the Israelites" is a powerful black and white engraving created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his dramatic depictions of biblical scenes. This artwork portrays a moment from the Book of Joshua, where an angel appears to Joshua, commanding him to remove his shoes as the ground he stands on is holy. The scene is rendered with great detail, showcasing Doré's mastery of light and shadow to emphasize the divine presence. The angel's imposing figure and the awe-struck expressions of the Israelites create a sense of wonder and reverence. Doré's interpretation of this biblical event, often referred to as the "Angel of the Lord" in religious literature, emphasizes the grandeur and power of the divine.
