The Prodigal Son In The Arms Of His Father 

This wood engraving by Gustave Doré depicts the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, a story of forgiveness and reconciliation. The artwork portrays the father, overcome with joy, embracing his son, who has returned home after squandering his inheritance. The scene is set against a backdrop of a distant village, palm trees, and figures witnessing the emotional reunion. Doré's detailed and emotive style effectively captures the father's compassion and the son's repentance, making this a powerful visual representation of the story's themes.
