Core inghiottito

1865[-]81

Frederick Richard Pickersgill dà vita alla terrificante storia biblica della ribellione di Core in questa intensa illustrazione del XIX secolo. Mentre la terra si apre per inghiottire i ribelli, una figura centrale barbuta – probabilmente Mosè – indica severamente verso i cieli mentre il caos esplode intorno a lui. Una donna terrorizzata stringe un bambino, guardando in alto con orrore, mentre un uomo crolla nell'abisso sottostante. L'intricato lavoro di linee crea un senso di fumo vorticoso e giudizio divino, catturando la fascinazione vittoriana per le narrazioni religiose drammatiche e le conseguenze morali.
