Gustave Doré’s illustration "To whom the winged Hierarch replied O Adam, one Almighty is, from whom All things proceed," depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis. The image depicts a winged angel, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden. Doré is well-known for his dramatic and often macabre illustrations, and this piece is no exception. The angel’s outstretched arm and the dramatic gesture of his finger pointing to the sky add to the sense of drama and urgency, suggesting the severity of the divine message. The image reflects the artist's fascination with the Bible, as well as his skill in capturing human emotion and biblical narratives.
