Description

Dore's "Bible Illustrations" is a very beautiful and nostalgic trip into Victorian book illustration. These illustrations are inspired and memorable containing depictions of popular scenes and personalities as idealized conceptions poetic and fanciful from both the Jewish and Christian, biblical traditions. Doré's talent is mystically potent with his dramatic chariscura renderings of moody heavens and skies panoramic vistas and landscapes and grand buildings and interiors all to frame the engaging spiritual dramas of salvation history. A moving gallery stroll for young and old alike.
