The Darkness At The Crucifixion 

"The Darkness At The Crucifixion" is a dramatic wood engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré. This powerful image depicts the biblical story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where a sudden darkness descends upon the earth as Jesus dies on the cross. Doré masterfully captures the sense of awe and dread in this moment, emphasizing the darkness and the turmoil surrounding the event with swirling, shadowed clouds and a chaotic throng below the crosses. Doré’s artwork is an excellent example of his signature style, which often combined a sense of realism with dramatic and even fantastical elements.
