About this book

The Doré Bible Illustrations collects the great series of engravings Gustave Doré (1832-1883) made for the Bible, first published in Tours in 1866 and reprinted endlessly across Europe and America. Doré's plates, the Creation, the Deluge, Babel, the agonies of the prophets and the Passion, fixed the visual imagination of scripture for generations and still shape how films stage the Old Testament. The French illustrator produced celebrated editions of Dante, Cervantes, and Milton, but the Bible plates remain his most reproduced work.

About the author

Gustave Dore

The plates are the reason to open it, and the text was already three thousand years old. Gustave Doré cut 241 wood engravings for a two-volume French Bible published in 1866, and they have been reprinted on their own ever since, which is what the collection amounts to: the pictures without the book they were made for.
