EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving by Gustave Dor depicts a dramatic scene from the Old Testament, specifically II Kings 2:23-24. The print showcases the biblical story of Elisha and the she-bears, where two ferocious bears are shown attacking a group of children who had mocked the prophet Elisha. The artist's intricate detailing brings this ancient tale to life, capturing the intensity and chaos of the moment. The composition is filled with tension as the powerful she-bears tear through their young tormentors, highlighting both their strength and wrath. Elisha, an esteemed Hebrew prophet in Israelite history, stands nearby witnessing this divine retribution. This image serves as a reminder of his authority and connection to God's power. Gustave Dor's masterful technique shines through in every stroke of this wood engraving. His skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to each figure while emphasizing their emotions - fear on one side and righteous anger on the other. As we gaze upon this artwork from The Granger Collection in New York, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment that speaks volumes about faith, consequences, and divine justice. It serves as a testament to how art can capture profound stories from our past while evoking contemplation about our own beliefs today.
