120 Great Paintings from Medieval Illuminated Books by Carol Belanger Grafton
Visually stunning and creatively inspiring, this glorious collection of 120 medieval images is drawn from manuscripts dating back to the eighth century. The diverse assortment ranges from biblical and pastoral scenes to mythical beasts to exquisitely rendered flowers to knights in armor preparing for war. With this special Platinum edition, images can be printed out in poster size.
French illustrator Gustave Doré (1833-83) began his prolific career at the age of 15, and his dramatic engravings have exercised an incalculable influence over latter-day artists. The remarkable scope of his work ranges from Milton, Dante, and the Bible to Rabelais, Shakespeare, and street scenes of 19th-century London.
