Doré’s Dragons, Demons and Monsters
Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement.
Gustave Doré’s creatures belong to worlds that seem far larger than the page containing them. This illustrated collection gathers more than 90 images of dragons, demons, monsters and other fantastic beings, offering a concentrated view of his gift for giving the supernatural a convincing physical presence.
The selection draws on illustrations for The Bible, Paradise Lost, Don Quixote, The Divine Comedy and other texts. These literary sources give Doré room to move between sacred vision, adventure and nightmare. Dense shadow, intricate linework and dramatic differences of scale turn encounters with imagined creatures into scenes with weight and urgency.
At 80 pages, this paperback is a compact visual collection for admirers of nineteenth-century illustration and macabre imagery. It suits readers who want to study Doré’s treatment of the fantastic, as well as those seeking an absorbing book to browse. The focus is on his illustrations and creatures rather than a continuous edition of any one of the source texts.
