EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cedars of Lebanon destined for the Construction of the Temple" is a masterpiece by Gustave Doré, one of his many illustrations depicting biblical scenes. Created in the 19th century by an English School artist, this print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur of Lebanon's ancient cedars. The image transports us back to a time when these majestic trees were felled to construct Solomon's Temple as described in the Old Testament. The intricate details captured by Doré bring life to each branch and leaf, emphasizing their significance in religious history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear the echoes of axes striking wood and feel the weightiness of timber being hauled away. It serves as a reminder that even nature's most magnificent creations are subject to human intervention when it comes to fulfilling sacred purposes. Doré's illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on March 17th, 1866. Its inclusion in this publication allowed readers from all walks of life to marvel at its splendor and contemplate its symbolic meaning. Today, this engraving remains a testament not only to Gustave Doré's extraordinary talent but also to the enduring power and influence of biblical narratives throughout art history. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature, spirituality, and humanity's capacity for creation.
