Description
The artist who worked across many media and was a versatile talent, Gustave Doré remains unrivaled as an exceptionally gifted illustrator whose detailed and imaginative engravings for major literary works – from Cervantes' Don Quixote to Dante's Divine Comedy, and even the Bible – have had a profound influence on how many cultural and literary characters are perceived and continue to inspire (David Beckham has a chest tattoo of Agony in the Garden by Doré). This wonderful new introduction to the artist focuses on these illustrations, first presenting his life, work, and rich history of illustration that he continued and ignited, from Blake and Fuseli to today's comic strips, before carefully selecting his most magnificent and significant engravings. From his vision of Jacob wrestling the angel to the crossing of the Styx river, the work of this most extraordinary and highly borrowed artist is represented in stunning full-page reproductions.
