"The Prodigal Son" 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 of literary works. The piece depicting the Biblical story of the Prodigal Son is one of the many works that Doré produced to accompany the text of the Bible, which was one of his most significant projects, first published in 1866.

The engraving illustrates the parable from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 15, verses 11–32, in which a father has two sons. The younger son asks for his inheritance and, after wasting his fortune, becomes destitute. He returns home with the intention to beg his father to accept him back as a servant. To his surprise, his father welcomes him with open arms, forgiving him and celebrating his return. The parable is a Christian moral tale about repentance and forgiveness.

Doré's interpretation of "The Prodigal Son" captures the moment of the son's return, often emphasizing the emotional reunion with the father and the themes of mercy and redemption. His work is characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to convey complex human emotions. The engraving is part of Doré's legacy in bringing biblical narratives to life and has been influential in shaping the visual culture of the Bible in the modern era.

Doré's illustrations for the Bible were widely popular and are considered some of the finest examples of 19th-century book illustration. His works have been reproduced in various editions and have inspired other artists and illustrators. "The Prodigal Son," like many of Doré's engravings, has been appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its impact on religious and cultural imagery.
