Doré is among my wife’s and my favorites, as an illustrator. We were given a gift years back of a print which is among our cherished things, for both the artistry of Doré, but also the kindness of the giver. Thanks for posting.
Ol’ Gustav is a giant among artists illustrating the Bible, in their inner circle. Only Tissot and perhaps Michelangelo worked harder at it.
My favorite too. His etchings are epic. There are many fine etchers, but when I think etching, I think Gustave.
