Doré's Technique: A Symphony of Darkness and DespairDoré's brushstrokes are as unforgiving as the Crusaders' swords, creating a scene of chaos and carnage. The dark, somber palette evokes a sense of dread, while the swirling composition draws viewers into the heart of the massacre. The use of light and shadow accentuates the brutality, casting an eerie glow on the victims' faces.
