Nadab and Abihu are killed in the Tabernacle, Leviticus 1900

"Nadab and Abihu are killed in the Tabernacle, Leviticus" is a dramatic black and white illustration by James Tissot, depicting the biblical story of Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron, being struck down by God for offering "strange fire" in the Tabernacle. The two brothers are shown lying dead in the foreground, their bodies contorted in a pose of agony. The artist uses chiaroscuro to emphasize the figures, contrasting the light and dark areas to create a sense of drama. This dramatic scene highlights the severity of God's judgment and the importance of following His commands. Tissot was known for his meticulous detail and historically accurate depictions of biblical scenes. This illustration was part of a larger series of works, "The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ," which was meant to bring biblical stories to life for a broader audience.
