The creative biography of the classic 19th-century artist Gustave Doré—engraver, illustrator, caricaturist, and sculptor—with numerous exquisite reproductions that allow one to fully appreciate his mastery.
From the Bible to Shakespeare, from Balzac to Milton, from Cervantes to Poe—Gustave Doré's intricate, romantic, precise, and vibrant drawings enlivened great works and were as treasured as the stories and poems they illustrated.
In selecting his works, the artists were guided by principles of chronology, subject matter, and aesthetics. Doré covered all fields: he drew caricatures of his contemporaries, wrote war reports, illustrated fables, poetry, and novels, and also painted landscapes and allegorical scenes. Doré's work blends comic caricatures with majestic images, epic canvases with contemplative vistas. He captured reality while masterfully handling fiction.
This book, filled with profound art historical analysis and expert commentary from Western art historians, will become a true treasure for collectors—as ambitious and sensational as the master himself.
