"Destruction of Sennacherib's Host" is a renowned illustration by Gustave Doré, a prolific and influential French artist known for his detailed and imaginative engravings. This particular work is part of Doré's extensive oeuvre that spans various literary illustrations, including those for the Bible, Dante's "Divine Comedy," and Milton's "Paradise Lost." "Destruction of Sennacherib's Host" visually interprets a biblical episode recounted in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 37, where the Assyrian king Sennacherib's army is miraculously destroyed overnight by an angel of the Lord, saving Jerusalem from siege.

Gustave Doré's illustration captures the dramatic moment with his characteristic attention to detail, depth, and emotional intensity. The artwork is a testament to Doré's mastery in rendering complex scenes, where divine intervention and human despair are depicted with equal prowess. His use of light and shadow, along with the intricate depiction of the soldiers' expressions and the supernatural force, evokes a sense of awe and terror. This piece, like many of Doré's works, showcases his ability to transcend the textual narrative, offering viewers a visual experience that complements and enhances the biblical story.

"Destruction of Sennacherib's Host" not only exemplifies Doré's skill as an illustrator but also reflects the 19th-century fascination with biblical themes and the broader cultural interest in religious art. It has been admired for its artistic merit and its capacity to convey the story's moral and spiritual dimensions. As part of Doré's biblical series, this illustration has contributed to the visual culture of the Bible, influencing how such stories are imagined and remembered in the Western artistic tradition.
