Elijah Destroys the Messengers of Ahaziah 

Gustave Doré, a renowned 19th-century French artist, created this wood engraving depicting the biblical story of Elijah destroying the messengers of Ahaziah. Doré's masterful use of chiaroscuro, light and shadow, creates a sense of drama as a fiery beam descends from heaven, engulfing the soldiers of Ahaziah. The scene captures the moment of divine intervention, with a powerful sense of awe and fear. This dramatic illustration is a testament to Doré's skill in bringing biblical tales to life.
