More than 400 restored and enhanced illustrations from the mind of Gustave Doré celebrate the legacy of one of history's greatest artists.

Wood engravings became his specialty, and he is widely known today for his illustrations in popular books such as Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Doré's London: A Pilgrimage. What makes Doré's artwork unique is his range of talent beyond his skill as a technical illustrator. His mastery of human anatomy and background details is rivaled only by his own abilities to shift subject matters, effortlessly, from angst and pain to comic hilarity. His chilling artwork for Dante's Inferno evokes endless, eternal suffering while his quirky, lighthearted drawings for Les Contes Drolatiques show his good sense of humor and gifted cartooning skills."
