EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary engraving by Gustave Dore, a renowned artist from the 19th century. Titled "An army in the heavens" this artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene described in II Maccabees 5. For forty days, an ethereal army materializes in the sky, capturing both imagination and faith. Published in "Bible or Books of New Testament and Old Testament" in 1875, this illustration holds immense historical and religious significance. The scan by Ivan Burmistrov beautifully preserves every intricate detail of Dore's engraving. The image portrays a group of mature men dressed in traditional period costumes, evoking a sense of reverence and spirituality. They ride on horse-drawn carts armed with lances and spears while wearing robes symbolizing their devotion to Catholicism. This religious event is brought to life through Dore's masterful craftsmanship. The composition exudes conflict and judgment as these heavenly soldiers stand ready for battle against unseen forces. Their facial hair adds gravitas to their presence while horses add an element of power and movement to the scene. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork invites viewers into a world where history intertwines with religion, offering us glimpses into ancient traditions that continue to shape our spiritual beliefs today.
