EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment from biblical history - the chilling scene of Jehu, king of the northern Kingdom of Israel, ordering Queen Jezebel to be thrown from the palace windows. Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1866 for the Dore Bible, this wood engraving is part of La Grande Bible de Tours, a deluxe edition that became immensely popular. Jehu's reign from 842-815 BCE was marked by his ruthless extermination of Ahab's house. In this illustration, we witness the culmination of his vengeful mission as he commands Jezebel's violent demise. The intensity and emotion are palpable as soldiers surround her while she plummets towards an uncertain fate. Dore's mastery shines through in every detail: from the majestic horses and loyal dog standing guard outside to the intricate engravings on the palace window frames. This artwork not only showcases Dore's talent but also serves as a visual representation of religious themes and historical events. The image evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about ancient times, inviting us to reflect on power dynamics, violence, and faith. It reminds us that art has long been used as a medium to explore profound human experiences and beliefs. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time - witnessing a pivotal moment in biblical history captured with remarkable skill by one of France's most celebrated artists.
