The Tower of Babel 

Gustave Doré's "The Tower of Babel" is a dramatic, detailed engraving depicting the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. In this scene, a massive tower, stretching towards the heavens, is under construction as a multitude of figures work diligently. The artist masterfully captures the chaotic energy of the scene, highlighting the confusion and disarray caused by God's intervention in the form of the "confusion of tongues". The etching, created in the 19th century, is known for its intricate details and vivid portrayal of the biblical narrative.
