The Dore Bible Gallery : Containing One Hundred Superb Illustrations and a Page of Explanatory Letter-Press Facing Each PDF
by Gustave Dore
Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and variously gifted designer the world has ever known.
At an age when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with everincreasing wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts.
He has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before unsuspected.
He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and Opened new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod.
To the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to fuller life.
