Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré ({{IPAc-en|UK|ˈ|d|ɔːr|eɪ}} {{respell|DOR|ay}}, {{IPAc-en|US|d|ɔː|ˈ|r|eɪ}} {{respell|dor|AY}}, {{IPA|fr|ɡystav dɔʁe|lang}}; 6{{nbs}}January 1832 – 23{{nbs}}January 1883) was a French printmaker, illustrator, painter, comics artist, caricaturist, and sculptor. He is best known for his prolific output of wood-engravings illustrating classic literature, especially those for the Vulgate Bible and Dante's Divine Comedy. These achieved great international success, and he became renowned for printmaking, although his role was normally as the designer only; at the height of his career some 40 block-cutters were employed to cut his drawings onto the wooden printing blocks, usually also signing the image.{{Britannica|169416|Gustave Doré}}

He created over 10,000{{nbs}}illustrations, the most important of which were copied using an electrotype process using cylinder presses, allowing very large print runs to be published simultaneously in many countries.Mayor, Hyatt A., Prints and People, Metropolitan Museum of Art/Princeton, 1971, no. 677, {{ISBN|0691003262}}

Although Doré's work was popular with the general public during his life, it was met with mixed reviews from contemporary art critics. His work has been more widely celebrated in the centuries following his death. Among his contemporary admirers were writers H. P. Lovecraft and Théophile Gautier.

Biography

File:Carolus-Duran, Portrait de Gustave Doré, StrasbourgMAMCS (2).JPG (1877)]]

Doré was born in Strasbourg on 6{{nbs}}January 1832. At the age of{{nbs}}15, Doré began his career working as a caricaturist for the French paper Le journal pour rire.{{cite book|last=Lyons|first=Martin|title=Books: A Living History|year=2011|publisher=Getty Publications|location=Los Angeles|isbn=978-1-60606-083-4|page=135}} The illustrations of J. J. Grandville have been noted as an influence on his work.Rose, Cynthia. 2020. [https://www.tcj.com/j-j-grandville-a-matter-of-line-death/ J. J. Grandvill: A Matter of Line and Death. The Comics Journal.] (accessed 19 July 2022) Wood-engraving was his primary method at this time."Books: A Living History" by Martin Lyons In the late 1840s and early 1850s, he made several text comics, like Les Travaux d'Hercule (1847), Trois artistes incompris et mécontents (1851), Les Dés-agréments d'un voyage d'agrément (1851) and L'Histoire de la Sainte Russie (1854). Doré subsequently went on to win commissions to depict scenes from books by Cervantes, Rabelais, Balzac, Milton, and Dante. He also illustrated "Gargantua et Pantagruel" in 1854.

In 1853 Doré was asked to illustrate the works of Lord Byron.Complete Works of Lord Byron illustrated by Ch. Mettais, Bocourt, G. Doré. Published by J. Bry, Paris, 1853. The version at [https://archive.org/details/1853oeuvrescom00byro archive.org] is in French. The illustrations are not attributed to any one of the three named on the title-page. A handwritten note at page{{nbs}}5 remarks that another edition of 1856 made no mention of Doré among the illustrators, but his designs still appeared in the book. This commission was followed by additional work for British publishers, including a new illustrated Bible. In 1856 he produced 12{{nbs}}folio-size illustrations of The Legend of The Wandering Jew, which propagated longstanding antisemitic views of the time,Richard S. Levy, Antisemitism: A Historical Encyclopedia of Prejudice and Persecution, Volume 1, Oxford 2005, p 186 for a short poem which Pierre-Jean de Béranger had derived from a novel of Eugène Sue of 1845.{{cite web |first=Eric |last=Zafran|editor-first= Robert |editor-last=Rosenblum|editor2-first=Lisa|editor2-last=Small|title=Fantasy and Faith: The Art of Gustave Dore |publisher=Yale University Press |year=2007 |url=http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300107371}}{{cite web|url=http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=&_itemId=190730614809|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130122033933/http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=&_itemId=190730614809|url-status=dead|title=eBay|date=22 January 2013|archive-date=22 January 2013}}{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PzcLAAAAQAAJ&q=wandering+jew+Gustave+Dore+beranger+dupont&pg=PA37|title=Willis's Price Current: A Catalogue of Superior Second Hand Books Ancient and Modern ... to which are Added a List of New Publications and Current Notes for the Month|date=21 January 2018|publisher=Willis and Sotheran|via=Google Books}}

In the 1860s he illustrated a French edition of Cervantes's Don Quixote, and his depictions of the knight and his squire, Sancho Panza, became so famous that they influenced subsequent readers, artists, and stage and film directors' ideas of the physical "look" of the two characters.{{cite web|url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/d/dore_gustave.htm|title=Gustave Doré|website=lambiek.net}} Doré also illustrated an oversized edition of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", an endeavor that earned him 30,000{{nbs}}francs from publisher Harper & Brothers in 1883.Quinn, Arthur Hobson.

Doré's illustrations for the Bible (1866) were a great success, and in 1867 Doré had a major exhibition of his work in London. This exhibition led to the foundation of the Doré Gallery in Bond Street, London.McQueen, A. "Gustave Doré," in Nineteenth-Century Art, Highlights from the Tanenbaum Collection, London: 2015, p. 54. In 1869, Blanchard Jerrold, the son of Douglas William Jerrold, suggested that they work together to produce a comprehensive portrait of London. Jerrold had obtained the idea from The Microcosm of London produced by Rudolph Ackermann, William Pyne, and Thomas Rowlandson (published in three volumes from 1808 to 1810).{{cite web|url=http://www.romanticlondon.org/microcosm-intro/|title=Introduction to The Microcosm of London (1808-10) – Romantic London|website=www.romanticlondon.org}} Doré signed a five-year contract with the publishers Grant & Co that involved his staying in London for three months a year, and he received the vast sum of £10,000 a year for the project. Doré was celebrated for his paintings in his day, but his wood-engravings, like those he did for Jerrold, are where he excelled as an artist with an individual vision.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

The completed book London: A Pilgrimage, with 180{{nbs}}wood engravings, was published in 1872. It enjoyed commercial and popular success, but the work was disliked by some contemporary British critics, as it appeared to focus on the poverty that existed in parts of London. Doré was accused by The Art Journal of "inventing rather than copying."{{cite book|last=Ackyroyd|first=Peter|title=London: A Pilgrimage (introduction)|year=2005|publisher=Anthem Press|pages=xix}} The Westminster Review claimed that "Doré gives us sketches in which the commonest, the vulgarest external features are set down."{{cite book|last=Chapman|first=J|title=The Westminster Review, Vol 99|year=1873|page=341}} But they impressed Vincent van Gogh, who painted a version of the Prisoners' Round in 1890, the year of his death. The book was a financial success, however, and Doré received commissions from other British publishers.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

Doré's later work included illustrations for new editions of Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Milton's Paradise Lost, Tennyson's Idylls of the King, The Works of Thomas Hood, and The Divine Comedy. Doré's work also appeared in the weekly newspaper The Illustrated London News.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

The medical doctor Jean-Baptiste Fuzier, who was a specialist in yellow fever and other tropical diseases, bequeathed watercolor paintings by Doré to the museum of Grenoble in 1880. According to the Musée de Grenoble, Doré developed his expertise as a watercolorist during a trip to Scotland in 1873.{{Cite web |last=Doré |first=Gustave |title=Paysage avec personnages.

Death

Doré never married and, following the death of his father in 1849, he continued to live with his mother, illustrating books until his death of a heart attack in Paris on January{{nbs}}23, 1883, following a short illness.{{cite book|last= Doré|first=Gustave |title=The Doré Bible Gallery, Illustrated by Gustave Dore|publisher=Henry Altemus|place=Philadelphia|page=vii|url=http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/636024924|date= 1890|oclc=636024924 }} At the time of his death Doré was working on illustrations for an edition of Shakespeare's plays.{{cite book|last1=Lyons|first1=Martin|title=Books: A Living History|date=2011|publisher=J.

Roosevelt quotes Doré, "...from that date [1847] until 1850, I occupied myself—sometimes well and sometimes badly—in finishing my studies at the Lycée Charlemagne.

Roosevelt implies, though does not specifically state, that a French publisher published this volume in 1865. For one, she places this reference with the other books published in 1865, for another, she uses the word also when mentioning that Sampson Low brought out a copy in London in 1866. Additionally, an English publication would most likely be translated and have a title of Toilers of the Sea. Roosevelt's line reads thus: "Victor Hugo's 'Travailleurs de la Mer', also in 1866, brought out by Sampson Low and Co., in London."

Reception and legacy

Doré's work received mixed reviews from contemporary art critics, but he was widely acclaimed by the general public. He was adored by many writers and poets, who felt he "brought their wildest dreams and fantasies to life".{{cite book|last=Milton|first=John|title=Paradise Lost|year=2005|publisher=Arcturus|location=London|isbn=9781841932514|chapter=Introduction}} Théophile Gautier for example stated "Nobody better than this artist can give a mysterious and deep vitality to chimeras, dreams, nightmares, intangible shapes bathed in light and shade, weirdly caricatured silhouettes and all the monsters of fantasy." H.P. Lovecraft drew inspiration from Doré's Rime of the Ancient Mariner illustrations in his formative years.{{Cite book |last=Joshi |first=S. T. |title=I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft |publisher=Hippocampus Press |year=2013 |isbn=9781614980537 |pages=6}}
