"The Prophet Amos" is an engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, part of his illustrations for the Bible. Created in the 19th century, Doré's body of work for the Bible is one of his most recognized contributions to the field of art, particularly for the way in which he brought biblical narratives to life with dramatic imagery and intricate detail. The engraving of Amos is no exception, depicting the Old Testament figure who was among the earliest prophets to have his teachings recorded in the form of a book.

Amos, a shepherd from the Judean town of Tekoa, was active around the 8th century BCE and is known for his strong social justice message, emphasizing the moral responsibility of Israel, particularly its elite, to uphold justice and righteousness. In Doré's depiction, the prophet is often shown as a commanding presence, with a focus on the themes of judgment and divine inspiration that are central to the book of Amos.

Doré's work is characterized by its high level of detail and its use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and drama. His illustrations for the Bible, including "The Prophet Amos," were widely disseminated and had a significant impact on the visual culture of the Bible, influencing not only the field of illustration but also the broader public's imagination of biblical scenes. The engravings were originally published as part of a two-volume set of the French Bible in 1866, and they have since been reproduced in various editions and languages, cementing Doré's reputation as a master illustrator of religious texts.

"The Prophet Amos" stands as a testament to Gustave Doré's artistic legacy and his ability to convey the emotional intensity and profound messages of biblical stories. His illustrations continue to be appreciated for their artistic merit and their contribution to the visual interpretation of scripture.
