"Death of Saul" is a renowned illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his series of works for the 1866 edition of the Bible. This particular piece depicts the dramatic and tragic moment of the demise of Saul, the first King of Israel, as narrated in the Old Testament of the Bible. The artwork is a reflection of Doré's masterful handling of biblical subjects, showcasing his ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his engravings.

The scene is taken from the account in 1 Samuel 31, where Saul, after being badly wounded in battle against the Philistines on Mount Gilboa, requests his armor-bearer to kill him to avoid capture. When the armor-bearer refuses, Saul takes his own life by falling on his sword. Doré captures the intensity and despair of the moment, with Saul's figure dominating the composition, surrounded by the chaos of battle and the looming presence of death.

Gustave Doré was known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations, which often included scenes from literature, mythology, and the Bible. His works were widely popular during the 19th century, and his illustrations for the Bible were particularly celebrated for their dramatic and evocative imagery. "Death of Saul" stands as a testament to Doré's skill in visual storytelling and his influence on the interpretation of biblical scenes in art.

This illustration, like many of Doré's biblical works, has been reproduced in various formats and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its powerful representation of a pivotal moment in biblical history. The "Death of Saul" remains an important part of Doré's artistic legacy and a significant example of biblical art from the 19th century.
