"The Prophets of Baal Are Slaughtered" is a dramatic woodcut by the French artist Gustave Doré. The image, depicting a scene of violence from the Old Testament, is notable for its detailed composition and stark contrast. The scene is set on a craggy cliff with a large group of figures being forced into a river below. This powerful work was created during Doré's career, which was renowned for its illustrations of biblical scenes and literary classics. The artist's masterful use of line and shadow effectively conveys the brutality and intensity of the event, showcasing a scene of religious persecution.
