Doré, known for his illustrations of literary works, creates a sense of awe and wonder through intricate detail, portraying a multitude of winged figures in the heavens. The light emanating from above casts shadows and highlights the depth and scale of the scene, showcasing Doré's masterful use of chiaroscuro.
