The Dore Bible Illustrations

Rating:
Summary: A very beautiful and inspiring book
Review: Dore's "Bible Illustrations" is a very beautiful and nostalgic trip into Victorian book illustration. I remember these images from a multi- volume "Bible for Children" that I had as a child. I was parted from those books,but always remembered the images, and what a lasting effect they had on my spirituality, and my internal image of God. I was so happy to be able to buy the Dore "Bible Illustrations" from Amazon. I am an artist with a special interest in Victorian imagery,and will treasure this volume. The plates are masterful,dramatic,quaint,and somewhat mystical in feel. I think any person interested in Victorian art,and Christian iconography will enjoy this book.

Review: The Dore Bible Illustrations are magnificent. One looks at them and marvels at their intricasy and sensitivity. Everyone who sees this book asks how to obtain a copy. It is a brilliant and bright look backwards, like a trip to Sunday school. Special care has been taken to bind the book so that it will lie flat. Dover permits the use of the plates for creative endeavors, so for all the enthusiasts who like to make Greeting Cards for friends using scanned images, this is a wonderful tool. I highly recommend this book for every person who believes in Christ and I know this is wonderful to read and ponder before bedtime.

Review: Who better to do this work than Gustave Dore? No one! A master craftsman and artist, these illustrations are inspired genius.

The amount of work involved, the imagination, and the mastery of light are something to behold, ponder and enjoy.

The work compliments the subject matter perfectly!

We're blessed that these works have been passed down to us, as you just won't see this type of work anymore, not by hand and I doubt even by computer!
