1901 Paradise Lost John Milton Gustave Doré ART Illustrated English FOLIO

1901 Paradise Lost John Milton Gustave Doré ART Illustrated English FOLIO

“The most popular and successful French illustrator of the mid-19th century!”

The esteemed French artist, Gustave Doré was most known for his incredible woodcut engravings. Doré’s Romantic style of illustration, supremely imaginative and richly detailed, was ideally suited to literary subjects.

Doré established himself as a prolific 19^th-century illustrated and artist and the demand for his work was escalating. Thus, this later undated edition is valuable and desirable much like many of the other titles Doré illustrated.

“Gustave Doré, it has always seemed to me, was a motion-picture art director born before his time.” (Harryhausen, Master of Imagination).

‘Paradise Lost’ follows the biblical story of the Fall of Man and the temptation of Adam and Eve. Milton himself states that purpose for this book was to “Justify the ways of God to Men”. It covers the characters Adam, Eve, and Satan and the roles each played in the development of religious culture and idolatry.
