The artwork entitled “Jehu’s Companions Find Jezebel’s Remains” was created by the artist Gustave Doré and is part of the Romanticism art movement. It falls within the genre of religious painting and is a piece from the series “The Holy Bible.”
In the artwork, one can observe a stark and somber scene where several figures stand against a textured wall, partially illuminated by a dim light filtering from the upper left corner. The central focus of the image reveals the remains of Jezebel, scattered on the ground. One of Jehu’s companions is depicted in a crouched position, earnestly examining or perhaps collecting the remnants. Their attire and somber expressions convey a sense of gravity and reverence, underscoring the biblical narrative they epitomize. The setting is dark and desolate, contributing to the overall atmosphere of solemnity and the poignant moment captured by Doré.
