One of the greatest book illustrators of all time; nineteenth-century artist Gustave Doreacute; was particularly noted for his brilliantly imaginative scenes of fantasy and the fantastic.Angels; among his most frequently portrayed characters; were inspired; visually stunning creations. This collection reproduces dozens of these celestial beings; all dramatically illustrated and originally drawn for such great works of literature as the Bible; Coleridges The Rime of the Ancient Mariner; Michauds History of the Crusades; Dantes Divine Comedy; and Miltons classic; Paradise Lost. Imaginative and richly detailed; these remarkable illustrations are ideal for use by graphic artists and craftworkers; but will also be treasured by lovers of fine art.
