Dore's Illustrations for "Paradise Lost" (Dover Pictorial Archives)

Fantastic print quality and large so you can really see the details in Dore's work. Good collection of works too. Happy to add this to my art book collection.

Very beautiful illustrations. I have purchased Dore's Divine Comedy illustrations and was interested in this one as well. Anyone with an admiration for this type of work would enjoy owning this book for the price. An honest and unpaid review, -shaolin

excellent black& white illustrations of "Paradise Lost" - artwork is excellent

Love the large scale prints in book form.

Excellent reproduction of Dore's 19th century originals. A bargain, too. Makes it much easier to picture the poem.

Me llegó maltratado en un costado del libro

Came quick and in good condition :D

Gorgeous reproductions of Dore's work. Such beautiful renderings that really transport you. I made some high quality copies to frame and hang on my walls to get even more enjoyment out of them. Highly recommended.

『神曲』といい、『聖書』といい、...そして この『失楽園』といい、 観る者に迫ってくる迫力と一瞬にて虜にしてしまう力は、いったい... P21 'X.309,310 の 行く手に佇む「輝く天使」。 P26 'Y.410-412 の 薄暗い背景から、静かにわきあがってくるような「天使たち」。 P36 '¥.74,75 の 遠くの滝を滑り落ちる水が、怒涛さかまく「流れ」に変わっていく様。 これが、Doreの世界なのだ。 白と黒。 線と線の間隔。 一本一本の線の太さの強弱。 紡ぎだされる、明と暗。光と影の世界。 繊細と大胆。 動物/静物の細部に表情を刻む、直線と曲線の群れ。 ... これらが作り上げる... この迫力あるモノクロの世界を、是非味わってみてください。

Mistakenly bought this. I was looking for a copy of Paradise Lost WITH illustrations, and purchased this without reading the description carefully. (Lesson learned) I was upset for a bit till I opened the book and fell in love with the art. Very beautiful works of storytelling. And there is a summary of each book of Paradise Lost inside so it kind of worked out.

Llego en tiempo y cuidado. El libro es de buen tamaño y cada página viene con una ilustración del tamaño del libro con un texto al pie con el título de la ilustración. Son hermosas. Fueron un regalo, pero definitivamente quiero uno para mí.

This book collects and presents the artwork by Gustave Dore that he undertook in relation to the illustrated edition of Milton's "Paradise Lost" in the 1860's. Milton's poem tells the story of the war in Heaven, the fall of Lucifer, and the temptation of Adam and Eve. Dore illustrates the key moments of the story in a fantastic manner. Dore created 50 wood engravings, which have been beautifully reproduced here. The sense of loss, and the emotion expressed in Milton's poem, is wonderfully captured by Dore. His artwork is stunning, and hugely influential. If you enjoy this book, I also recommend both The Dore Bible Illustrations (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) and The Doré Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy .

Good seller.
