The Drawings of Gustave Dore: Illustrations to the Great Classics by Gustave Dorae
This beautiful volume brings together over 500 works by the great 19th century illustrator Gustave Dor (c). Renowned as a master of his art, Dor (c)'s hugely ambitious projects included such classics as Dante's Divine Comedy, Cervante's Don Quixote, and the Bible. Author and compiler George Davidson provides a detailed introduction to each literary work and to the selection of Dor (c)'s illustrations that follow. Every full-page illustration is accompanied by a carefully chosen citation from the original text. The result is a stunning volume of touching, romantic, turbulent and often awe-inspiring drawings that both shed light on classics of literature and are works of art in their own right.| SKU | Unavailable |
