"Elijah Destroying The Messengers Of Ahaziah" is a notable engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his illustrations for the Bible. Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific engraver, artist, illustrator, and sculptor, known especially for his detailed and imaginative illustrations for books. The work depicts a scene from the Second Book of Kings in the Old Testament, where the prophet Elijah, according to the biblical narrative, calls down fire from heaven to destroy the messengers sent by King Ahaziah.

The engraving is characteristic of Doré's dramatic style, capturing the intensity and the supernatural elements of the biblical story. It showcases his mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The composition is marked by the contrast between the divine wrath emanating from Elijah and the terror of Ahaziah's messengers as they confront their demise.

Doré's illustrations for the Bible were completed in the 19th century and have since become iconic, influencing the visual language of biblical representation in Western art and culture. "Elijah Destroying The Messengers Of Ahaziah" stands as a testament to Doré's artistic legacy and his contribution to the visualization of biblical scenes. The work is part of a larger collection that has been reproduced in various editions of the Bible and has been widely studied for its artistic and cultural significance.

As an engraving, it has been featured in exhibitions and art collections, and it continues to be a subject of interest for art historians, scholars of religion, and enthusiasts of Doré's oeuvre. The piece not only reflects Doré's technical skill but also his ability to evoke emotion and narrative depth, making it a significant work within the canon of biblical illustration.
