"The Empyrean" is a wood-engraving by the celebrated French artist Gustave Doré. It is a dramatic and highly detailed depiction of a heavenly realm, likely inspired by Dante's _Paradise_, as evidenced by the text at the bottom. Doré's signature style of dense, meticulous linework is evident throughout the work, bringing to life a multitude of angels surrounding a bright, central light. It is a stark and powerful image, capturing the awe and wonder of the divine.
