Jezebel; Eaten by Dogs (circa late 19th century) This haunting and intriguing image depicts the biblical story of Jezebel, a Phoenician queen renowned for her wickedness and idolatry. According to the Old Testament, Jezebel, who was married to King Ahab of Israel, encouraged the worship of Baal and Asherah, two Canaanite deities, and persecuted the prophets of the God of Israel. The scene in this illustration represents the moment of Jezebel's downfall. After Ahab's death, Jezebel was thrown from the window of her palace in Jezreel, and as the story goes, eaten by dogs as she lay dying. This grisly end was a fitting punishment for her wickedness and defiance against the God of Israel. The illustration, created in the late 19th century, is a powerful representation of the biblical story. The image of Jezebel, with her regal attire and defiant expression, contrasts sharply with the grotesque scene of dogs tearing at her body. The use of dark, muted colors adds to the ominous and foreboding atmosphere. This illustration is a poignant reminder of the biblical story of Jezebel and the consequences of her wickedness. It is a fascinating glimpse into the historical and cultural context of the late 19th century, and a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative in shaping our collective imagination.
