Clambering Desperation Drowning Flood Retribution Safety Scrambling Souls Storm Stormy Survival Tiger Waves
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Doré's iconic illustration, "The Deluge" from his renowned work, The Holy Bible. Engraved by Pannemaker in 1866, this powerful image transports us to the biblical story of Noah's Ark and the catastrophic flood that engulfed the world. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are immediately struck by the sheer force and chaos depicted within it. The raging storm unleashes torrential rain and colossal waves that threaten to consume everything in their path. Amidst this tumultuous scene, souls desperately cling to whatever they can find - a testament to their unwavering will for survival. Intriguingly, amidst the chaos of nature's fury, a lone tiger is seen clambering onto an elevated platform alongside humans. This unexpected sight symbolizes both desperation and unity as different species come together in search of safety. Doré masterfully captures not only the physical devastation but also the emotional turmoil experienced during such cataclysmic events. The expressions on each face reflect fear, despair, and perhaps even guilt for humanity's transgressions leading up to this divine retribution. This remarkable engraving serves as a reminder of mankind's capacity for both destruction and redemption. It invites contemplation on our relationship with nature and our responsibility towards its preservation. Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this timeless masterpiece continues to evoke awe-inspiring emotions while reminding us of our shared vulnerability as inhabitants of this planet.
