In this mesmerizing engraving by Gustave Dore, we are transported to a world where animals suffer from a devastating plague. The image depicts various creatures - dogs, beasts, wolves, leopards, wild boars - all afflicted with sickness and distress. A lion and stag stand tall amidst the chaos while an ass leans on his walking stick for support. The wilderness is filled with malady as bears and she-wolves roam in agony. Dore's intricate details bring forth the gravity of the situation; each animal's expression reflects their pain and suffering. The artist masterfully portrays not only physical ailments but also the emotional toll that plagues can inflict upon even the mightiest beings. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in times of crisis. It prompts us to reflect on our own mortality and empathize with those who face adversity. Through its symbolism, "The Animals Fallen Sick With the Plague" invites us to contemplate how diseases can affect both individuals and societies at large.
