"Invocation to Muhammad," a dramatic black and white engraving by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré, depicts the Prophet Muhammad standing in a grand mosque, his hands raised in prayer as a multitude of followers prostrate themselves before him. This powerful image captures the fervor of early Islamic faith and highlights Doré's masterful use of light and shadow to create a sense of awe and reverence. The intricate architectural details of the mosque further contribute to the composition's sense of grandeur and solemnity. Doré's illustrative style, known for its realism and emotional intensity, makes this work a significant piece within his artistic repertoire.
