"The Tower of Babel" by Gustave Doré is a renowned illustration that forms part of his extensive body of work, which includes illustrations for many literary classics. Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific French artist, printmaker, illustrator, and sculptor, best known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations that brought to life the texts of such authors as Dante Alighieri, Lord Byron, and Edgar Allan Poe. His depiction of "The Tower of Babel" is particularly notable for its dramatic interpretation of the biblical story found in Genesis 11:1–9, which narrates humanity's attempt to build a tower high enough to reach heaven, and God's subsequent intervention to halt their progress by confounding their speech, resulting in the scattering of people across the earth.

Doré's illustration captures the momentous scale and ambition of the Tower of Babel, emphasizing the hubris of humanity in its quest to match divine power. The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, the dynamic composition, and the stark contrasts of light and shadow, which are hallmarks of Doré's style. Through his masterful use of these elements, Doré conveys the grandeur and folly of the endeavor, as well as the confusion and chaos that ensued following divine intervention.

This illustration is part of Doré's broader contribution to biblical art, where his works are celebrated for their ability to visualize complex narratives and themes. "The Tower of Babel" stands as a testament to Doré's skill in blending imagination with biblical texts, offering viewers a visual entry point into the timeless stories. His work on biblical scenes, including "The Tower of Babel," has been influential in shaping the visual culture of the Bible, leaving a lasting impact on how these stories are depicted in art and popular media.

As with much of Doré's work, "The Tower of Babel" not only showcases his artistic talent but also reflects the cultural and religious sensibilities of his time, making it a valuable piece for both art history and the study of religious narratives in art.
