Gustave Dore

About the Artist

Gustave Doré, born in France in 1832 and died in 1883, was an illustrator and printmaker. Active during the 'Golden Age of Illustration' of the late 19th century, his work is marked by powerful visual force and detailed depiction. Doré's artistic world combines imagination with realism, standing out in particular for his visual interpretation of literary works. One of his signature works is a print based on a painting by Pieter Bruegel, notable for its striking imagery and refined engraving.
