[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***But most of it is dark, moody, verging upon demonic.***

You mean like his drawings for ORLANDO FURIOSO. Very surreal.

Not just that, there were many other notable literary greats for which Gustav Dore provided illustration. Poe's The Raven, for instance.

But, I prefer his Biblically oriented works. The almost modern sense of surreality is still there and it's still somewhat dark, but without the demonic feel that comes through so strongly elsewhere.
