Description

One of the good book illustrators of all time, Gustave Doré created richly detailed, brilliantly imaginative scenes of legendary worlds filled with improbable creatures. This choice of more than ninety illustrations dramatically demonstrates the fantastic inventiveness of this remarkable nineteenth-century artist.
His fanciful portrayals of sea serpents, fire-breathing dragons, lost souls suffering endless agonies, and scores of other grotesque images were in the beginning drawn for The Bible, Paradise Lost, Don Quixote, The Divine Comedy, and other great works of literature. A very good reference and a superb supply of royalty-free graphics to be used by artists and craftspeople, these magnificent illustrations will delight lovers of fine art and someone serious about creatures of myth and fantasy.
