The first serious attempt at an English Language biography of Gustave Dore for over a century, and the only significant biography available in any language. In the 19C Dore was unchallenged as the world's greatest illustrator. He also was one of the pioneers of the comic strip &amp; an incisive caricaturist. The English and Americans saw him as one of the worlds great painters. And he created some beautiful sculptures. Ahead of his time, artists from Van Gogh and Picasso to Henry Irving and Cecil B Demille were influenced by him.

An artist who worked across many media, the multi-skilled Gustave Doré 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 Doré’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.
