"Abraham Journeying Into the Land of Canaan" (1866) is a dramatic wood engraving by Gustave Doré depicting a scene from the Bible. The image shows Abraham, his family, and his flocks, all making their way through a barren landscape. The scene is rendered in a realistic style with detailed depiction of figures and animals. The engraving is notable for its masterful use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. Doré's work is a prime example of 19th-century biblical illustration, and his powerful depictions of biblical scenes continue to resonate with viewers today.
