The Prophet Amos 

This wood engraving by Gustave Doré depicts the biblical prophet Amos, a shepherd who became a prophet and condemned social injustice. The image shows Amos in profile, standing with his staff on a cliff looking out at a distant cityscape. Doré's dramatic use of light and shadow contributes to the somber mood of the work and highlights Amos's solemn pronouncements against corruption. Doré was a prolific illustrator of biblical subjects, and this engraving is a powerful example of his skill in depicting religious themes.
