"The Prophet Isaiah" is a black and white wood engraving by the renowned French artist, Gustave Doré. This artwork, created between 1866 and 1867, depicts the biblical prophet Isaiah seated on a rock, shrouded in a long cloak, with a sorrowful and contemplative expression. His head is bowed, as if in prayer, highlighting his deep connection to the divine. Doré's use of bold, expressive lines and dramatic chiaroscuro create a sense of awe and solemnity, reflecting the weight of Isaiah's prophetic mission. The engraving, likely from a larger series, is a testament to Doré's mastery in capturing the emotional and spiritual essence of biblical figures.
