The Best of
GUSTAVE DORÉ

“PAUL GUSTAVE LOUIS CHRISTOPHE DORÉ (1832 – 1883) was a French artist, as a printmaker, illustrator, painter, comics artist, caricaturist, and sculptor. He is best known for his prolific output of wood-engravings, especially those illustrating classic books, including 241 illustrating the Bible. These achieved great international success, and he is the best-known artist in this printmaking technique.

“Doré's illustrations for the Bible (1866) were a great success.”

Indeed

Bless you Brother and your works!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Robb. I find this to be an intense daily blessing.

Just finished reading Anna Karenina in a new translation. There is a lot of conversation between the characters, upper-class Russians mostly, so they talk about politics, the Arts, and Culture.

There is a whole conversation about a new Bible Illustrator.

The footnotes say it was Gustav Dore they were describing. I didn't have to go to the notes to figure it out, as the characters argued over the detail, realism, and Biblical accuracy of the illustrations. As they talked, Dore’s wonderful illustrations sprang into my mind.

Dore’ made an Impression even on a Russian Orthodox Count. So much so, that he was included in the Epic novel.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks. I remember it now.

That vision didn’t quite work for me.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Fascinating. He left quite a legacy.

I expect many believers across the decades have had their faith challenged and strengthened by his works,

[left that other site]

Amen.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Which is to say, of course, that the Holy Spirit has been able to use him to bless many—that is the true dynamic powering any effective ministry.

[InkStone]

That’s quite a story, thanks!
