The supremely talented, prodigious and influential artist Gustave Doré is best known for his intricate engravings illustrating everything from the Bible to Don Quixote and The Divine Comedy. This gorgeous book introduces you to his life, work and legacy before presenting a carefully curated selection of his finest engravings.
New edition of the excellent introduction to Gustave Doré''s paintings, engravings and illustrations of the world''s greatest literature, from The Bible to The Divine Comedy.
An artist who worked across many media, the multi-skilled Gustave Doré remains unequalled as a supremely talented illustrator, whose detailed and imaginative engravings for major works of literature from Cervantess Don Quixote to Dantes Divine Comedy, and even the Bible have hugely influenced the way we see many cultural and literary characters and still inspire today (David Beckham has a tattoo on his chest of Dorés The Agony in the Garden).
This sumptuous new introduction to the artist focuses on these illustrations, first introducing you to his life, work and the rich seam of illustration history that he continued and ignited, from Blake and Fuseli to todays newspaper comics, before presenting a carefully curated thematic selection of his finest and most important engravings. From his vision of Jacob Wrestling with the Angel to Crossing the River Styx, the work of this most prodigious and much borrowed-from artist is represented in glorious full-page reproductions.
