The Doré Bible Gallery presents one hundred of Gustave Doré’s celebrated illustrations to the Bible, each accompanied by a page of explanatory letterpress recounting the scene depicted. Doré, the most popular illustrator of the nineteenth century, brought a dramatic, theatrical grandeur to scriptural subjects, and these wood-engraved plates became among the most widely reproduced images of their age.
The volume moves through the great episodes of the Old and New Testaments, pairing each plate with a concise narrative that sets the picture in its biblical context. It stands as a monument of Victorian book illustration and devotional art. This free EPUB download is cleanly formatted for any e-reader.
