The Wandering Jew 

"The Wandering Jew" is a powerful illustration by Gustave Doré that depicts a popular legend. The figure of a man in rags, a walking stick in hand, trudges through a stormy landscape, his face twisted in anguish. The image of a figure on a cross in the background, with a church steeple visible, reinforces the story's connection to the crucifixion of Jesus. Created in the 19th century, this woodcut embodies Doré's signature style of dramatic storytelling through detailed, dark, and evocative imagery. The piece explores themes of guilt, punishment, and eternal suffering.
