"The Death of Absalom" is a notable artwork by the French artist Gustave Doré, renowned for his masterful engravings and illustrations that often explore biblical, fantastical, and historical themes. This particular piece is part of Doré's extensive oeuvre that delves into biblical narratives, illustrating the dramatic and tragic story of Absalom's death as recounted in the Second Book of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament.

Absalom, the third son of David, King of Israel, is a central figure in a story of rebellion, betrayal, and familial strife. His death, as depicted by Doré, captures a pivotal moment that is both deeply personal and politically significant within the biblical narrative. Doré's work is characterized by its intricate detail, emotional depth, and the ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. In "The Death of Absalom," he employs these skills to portray the moment of Absalom's entanglement in the branches of a great oak tree as he flees the battlefield, leading to his eventual death at the hands of Joab, King David's general. This moment is not only a climax in the story of Absalom's rebellion but also a profound moment of tragedy for King David, reflecting themes of power, family, and the consequences of sin.

Gustave Doré's illustration contributes to the rich tradition of biblical art, offering viewers a visual interpretation that complements the textual narrative. His work on biblical scenes, including "The Death of Absalom," has been influential in shaping the visual culture of biblical stories, making these narratives accessible and compelling to a broad audience. Doré's ability to capture the essence of such stories in his engravings has cemented his reputation as one of the foremost illustrators of the 19th century, and his works continue to be celebrated for their artistic and cultural significance.
