1860 Beast Combat Dores Dragon Evil Folk Lore Interpretation Isaiah Leviathan Massive Monster Monstrous Serpent Times Waves


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Dores' Leviathan," is an 1860s engraving by the renowned English artist Gustave Doré, based on his interpretation of the biblical prophecy of the combat between God and the monstrous sea dragon Leviathan, as described in the Old Testament book of Isaiah (27:1). The historical and symbolic significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of the epic battle between good and evil, a theme that has captivated human imagination for centuries. In the image, God is depicted as a mighty figure standing atop the turbulent waves, with one hand reaching down to grasp the serpentine body of the massive Leviathan, while the other hand holds a glowing cross. The dragon, with its monstrous scales, sharp teeth, and sinuous body, writhes in the water below, its eyes fixed on the divine figure above. The waves crash around them, adding to the sense of chaos and turmoil. The image draws on both historical and folk lore traditions, with Leviathan being a well-known symbol of evil and chaos in various cultures and religions. The combat between God and Leviathan is often seen as a precursor to the end times, a battle that will ultimately determine the fate of the world. Dores' interpretation of this biblical narrative is a testament to the power of art to bring complex and timeless stories to life, inviting us to reflect on the deeper meanings and lessons contained within the text. This beautiful and intricately detailed print is a must-have for anyone interested in religious art, biblical interpretation, or the history of illustration.
