An artist who worked across many media, the multi-skilled Gustave
Dore remains unequalled as a supremely talented illustrator, whose
detailed and imaginative engravings for major works of literature -
from Cervantes's Don Quixote to Dante's 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 Dore's 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 today's 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.
