"Death of Ananias" is an engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré. It depicts the biblical scene where Ananias, having lied to the Holy Spirit about the price of his land, drops dead. Doré is known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations, and this image captures the moment of Ananias's death with powerful visual impact. The scene is filled with figures, emphasizing the shock and awe surrounding the event. The inscription at the bottom of the image references the Biblical passage, highlighting the religious context of the work. This engraving, like many of Doré's others, serves as a powerful visual interpretation of biblical narratives for a wide audience.
