Gustave Doré was a world famous 19th century illustrator. Although he illustrated over 200 books, some with more than 400 plates, he is primarily known for his illustrations toThe Divine Comedy, particularly The Inferno, his illustrations to Don Quixote, and Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven.
These art images include Doré's illustrations to The Divine Comedy, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Perrault's Fairy Tales, Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Contes Drolatiques, Fables de La Fontaine, Tennyson's Elaine, and others.
Latest additions: Added Leviathan to the Bible images. The Crusades. Also, the Rime of the Ancient Mariner is now complete, from the 1876 elephant folio edition. Coming: Idylls of the King and special selections of Gustave Doré Angels and The Darker Side of Gustave Doré(at least a few by Halloween, but many of these can be found now in Rime and Inferno).

TO THE KING

Is it or is it not Doré? Some people think Witches Dancing at a Sabbath (La Danse du Sabbat) is Doré and some insist it isn't. This is made more difficult because many works signed by Doré are primarily works done by his apprentices under his direction so being true to type isn't the sole criteria. For example, for Rime of the Ancient Mariner, he had worked with some of his engravers so many times that he sketched the drawing directly on large woodblocks and the engravers completed the work. This is the other signature you see on many of the illustrations. In any case, I'm including it here until it's proven one way or the other. Doré did not sign the finished work unless it met with his approval, which could have been denied for any number of reasons. His signature does not appear on Witches Dancing at a Sabbath but his influence is still apparent.

These pages are an extension of the artpassions.net Gustave Dore pages, a primarily non-commercial online gallery. I have tried to keep Artsy Craftsy as the listing of prints available from the Art Passions gallery, but I seem to have lost track of a few; there are Dore images here that are not at Art Passions and vice versa. In most cases, Art Passions is a more exhaustive gallery and has biographical information. Feel free to browse both.
