"The Ninth Plague: Darkness" is a wood engraving by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré. Created in the mid-19th century, this detailed image depicts the biblical story of the ninth plague of Egypt, a three-day period of utter darkness. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow, the contrast of the dark sky with the faint glimmer of light in the distance, creates a powerful visual representation of the biblical text.
