EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of the Prophet of Bethel, as depicted in this stunning illustration from the Dore Bible, is a powerful and haunting image that captures the solemnity and tragedy of the biblical scene.

In this particular scene, we see the prophet lying lifeless on the ground, surrounded by three animals and overlooking a bay of water.

The intricate details in Dore's work bring this biblical story to life, showcasing his skill as an artist and illustrator.
The Death of the Prophet of Bethel serves as a reminder of mortality and faith, drawing viewers into a moment frozen in time. It invites us to contemplate our own beliefs and values while marveling at Dore's talent for capturing emotion through art.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a spiritual journey that resonates with those who view it. It stands as a testament to Dore's lasting legacy as an artist whose work continues to inspire generations long after his passing.
