This dramatic illustration from Volume 1 of Dore Bible (1866) evokes a sense of sorrow and loss as we witness this pivotal event unfold before our eyes. The divine intervention is beautifully depicted when Elijah is nourished by an angel in another mesmerizing artwork from Dore Bible (1866). The ethereal glow surrounding them transports us into a realm where miracles happen amidst chaos and despair. A breathtaking masterpiece captures Khosrow II locked in battle with Bahram Chobin; their fierce determination leaps off the canvas created by yet another talented Iranian master artist.
