One of the great book illustrators of all time; Gustave Doreacute; created richly detailed; brilliantly imaginative scenes of legendary worlds filled with fantastic creatures. This collection of more than ninety illustrations dramatically demonstrates the amazing inventiveness of this remarkable nineteenth-century artist.His fanciful portrayals of sea serpents; fire-breathing dragons; lost souls suffering endless agonies; and scores of other grotesque images were originally drawn for The Bible; Paradise Lost; Don Quixote; The Divine Comedy; and other great works of literature. An excellent reference and an exceptional supply of royalty-free graphics for use by artists and craftspeople; these magnificent illustrations will delight lovers of fine art and anyone fascinated by creatures of myth and fantasy.
