"The Destruction of Sodom" is a notable work by French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his illustrations for the Bible. Known for his detailed and imaginative engravings, Doré's depiction of the biblical event showcases his mastery of dramatic narrative and his ability to convey moral and spiritual themes through visual art. The artwork illustrates the moment described in the Book of Genesis, where the city of Sodom is annihilated by divine retribution due to its inhabitants' wickedness.

In this piece, Doré employs his characteristic use of light and shadow to emphasize the catastrophic destruction and the divine power behind it. The composition is often remarked upon for its dynamic arrangement and the emotional intensity captured within the figures fleeing the scene. Doré's interpretation of "The Destruction of Sodom" not only reflects the 19th-century artistic and religious sensibilities but also contributes to the long tradition of biblical art that seeks to visualize and interpret sacred texts.

As with many of Doré's biblical illustrations, this work was widely disseminated and contributed to the popular visual culture of the time, influencing the perception of biblical stories among the public. The engraving is part of a larger body of work that includes illustrations for other significant biblical events, which together have cemented Doré's reputation as one of the foremost illustrators of the 19th century. "The Destruction of Sodom" remains an important example of Doré's artistic legacy and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic significance.
