"Jonah Calling Nineveh to Repentance" is a renowned engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, part of his extensive body of work illustrating biblical stories. Created in the 19th century, this piece is part of Doré's illustrations for the Bible, which were first published in 1866 in France and subsequently in numerous editions worldwide. The work depicts the moment from the Book of Jonah in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, where the prophet Jonah is commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to declare its impending destruction due to its wickedness, only to be spared upon the city's repentance.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific artist, illustrator, and sculptor, known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations that brought to life scenes from literature, history, and the Bible. His works are characterized by their dramatic intensity and intricate detail, qualities that are vividly present in "Jonah Calling Nineveh to Repentance." This particular engraving showcases Doré's mastery in creating compelling narrative scenes, as it captures the tension and urgency of Jonah's divine mission amidst the sprawling city of Nineveh.

The illustration is notable for its dramatic composition, with Jonah depicted as a solitary figure amidst the grandeur and corruption of Nineveh, emphasizing the contrast between the prophet's divine mission and the city's moral decay. Doré's use of light and shadow, along with the intricate detailing of the city's architecture and the inhabitants' attire, contributes to the engraving's powerful depiction of the biblical story.

"Jonah Calling Nineveh to Repentance" has been widely admired for its artistic excellence and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal biblical moment. It remains a significant work within Doré's oeuvre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural contributions to the visual interpretation of biblical narratives. The engraving not only exemplifies Doré's skill as an illustrator but also reflects the 19th-century fascination with biblical themes and the broader cultural and religious context in which his works were created.
