![Korah Swallowed Up by Frederick Richard Pickersgill, 1865[-]81](https://www.thequadro.com/api/storage/artworks/thumb/l/frederick-richard-pickersgill/frederick-richard-pickersgill_korah-swallowed-up_ac4ab8dc)
Frederick Richard Pickersgill brings the terrifying biblical story of Korah's rebellion to life in this intense 19th-century illustration. As the earth opens to swallow the rebels, a central bearded figure—likely Moses—points sternly toward the heavens while chaos erupts around him. A terrified woman clutches a child, looking up in horror, while a man collapses into the abyss below. The intricate line work creates a sense of swirling smoke and divine judgment, capturing the Victorian fascination with dramatic religious narratives and moral consequences.
