GUSTAVE DORÉ MASTER OF FANTASY HD 1080p

Gustave Doré was among the first to fully harness the creative visual potential inherent in the illustration of classic literature, and to produce images for them which have since become iconic in their own right. I've crammed as many of his best images as I could in this video but I've had to leave out many more than are included. I've done my best to pin down his work to years of publication but different sources give different dates so some may well be out by a few years. And my apologies - at 1.53 minutes I refer to 1953 when of course it should have been 1853. Oops.

What a machine, Dore must have worked nonstop to create that much in such a short period of time. Incredible artist, thank you.

I have no words for this one, only me aspiring the reach even a fraction of the amount of work he did in just 35 years.

Dore, the Rembrandt of illustration thats for sure. His images drag you in with all that superb and interesting detail. Another super presentation, Thanks Pete,

This is one of the most underrated masters of the all of human time. I've been waiting for this one. He is one of those artist that have an unattainable skill level that most even skilled artist cannot get to.

Dore has been a huge inspiration throughout my art career. Thank you for featuring him in greater detail!

As fantastic as Dore was I'm also amazed at the engraver who translated his work for print!! I think the engraver's work often gets overlooked...
Thanks for this deep dive, Pete and especially for showcasing Dore's painting!

I am so blown away at the ambitious volume of quality work these talented illustrators put out.

[TipaMoe]

Thank you so much for featuring Gustave Dore, he has been a great inspiration to me for over 30 years. He is not easy to find information on and this was a great help in understanding this truly great artist.

Like many French Canadians, I grew up with an early appreciation of Gustave Doré's illustrative work.
Some 15 - 20 years ago, the National Gallery of Canada had a terrific retrospective of his accomplishments in Ottawa. I had not been aware of his work in sculpture, painting, etc.

I came out of there ... stunned.

Doré was gifted as very, very few are.
I do not have but the highest regard for this truly remarkable artist.
Thank you for giving him his due.

[jaquesaulait]

These kind of videos are the best, cant help but be transported inside the illustration + the narrator’s voice is so soothing

I first meet Doré's work when i was a child, my granpa had an ilustraded edition of Don Quijote de la Mancha, a big big big fantastic book and i get amazed at every page, every ilustration what a genius, he was a master in details, playing with ligth and shadows, expresions, and dramatic representation of human situations, what a shame that he is so underated as an artist, he was my inspiration for starting drawing.
THANKS GUSTAVE FOR ALL THAT

I've always been a fan of Dore and his work. I'm glad to see you are, too.

[timgarrett]

Wow! Amazing quality and quantity of work! It always amazes me the self taught artists like Dore. There’s something different in their brains. Another great video!

[TheMarkEH]

Another great talent that I had not heard of. Thank you for doing justice to these great artists with your outstanding Video-Vignettes.

[Tetheredpencil]

When I searched the name Gustave Dore your video was first. Congratulations! Your channel is growing considerably. And for good reason!

[fjfjjsjfjjejsjdfkejjs]

So happy to hear you talking about Gustave Doré. As always, the explanations are so interesting and even as a (graduated) art history student I learned many things.
His illustrations are so intricate and full of details, I'd spend hours watching them.
Thank you for this incredible video!

Thank you for this. Dore's work never ceases to amaze me.
