"The Death of Agag" is a powerful woodcut by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré. This image depicts the biblical story of the execution of Agag, the king of the Amalekites, by the prophet Samuel. The scene portrays a sense of dramatic tension, with Agag kneeling helplessly as Samuel raises his sword. The use of dynamic lines and strong contrasts emphasizes the brutality of the act, drawing the viewer into the moment of Agag's demise. This graphic depiction reflects Doré's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to capture the raw emotion and violence of the biblical narrative.
