EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating wood engraving titled "DORÉ: ELIJAH's ASCENT" transports viewers to a celestial realm, capturing the miraculous moment of Elijah's ascent in a chariot of fire. Inspired by the biblical account found in II Kings 2:11-12, this 19th-century masterpiece was created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist. The image showcases an ethereal scene where heaven and earth converge. A radiant cloud envelops the heavens as Elijah, the revered prophet of Judaism, is lifted towards the skies. The chariot itself blazes with divine flames, illuminating the darkness below. It is a testament to Doré's skill that he manages to convey both awe-inspiring power and heavenly tranquility within this single frame. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of Elijah's significance as a spiritual figure and his connection with God. His ascension symbolizes his transcendence from mortal existence into eternal life – an event witnessed only by Elisha, his successor. This wood engraving not only captures an extraordinary biblical event but also serves as a reminder of faith and miracles throughout history. Through Doré's intricate details and masterful technique, we are transported back in time to witness this supernatural occurrence firsthand. Whether one views it through religious or artistic lenses, "DORÉ: ELIJAH's ASCENT" remains an enduring testament to human fascination with spirituality and our desire for transcendence beyond earthly boundaries.
