"The Murrain of Beasts" is a wood engraving by French artist Gustave Doré depicting the fifth plague from the Book of Exodus. Doré, known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations, captures the chaos of the biblical event with a powerful visual narrative. The engraving shows a vast field littered with the carcasses of dead livestock, emphasizing the devastation of the plague. This artwork is an example of Doré's ability to evoke a sense of horror and biblical imagery through his masterful use of line and shadow, making the scene both realistic and evocative.
