GUSTAVE DORÉ1832-1883Country of Origin: FranceTraining: Self-taughtNotable Works: Don Quixote (1860), English Bible (1866), Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Paradise LostKnown in his youth as a troublemaker and incorrigible prankster, it’s no wonder that Strasbourg-born artist Gustave Doré was soon hired as a caricaturist for French publications after carving images into cement. Very prolific during his relatively short career, he produce now-iconic images of Heaven and Hell, monster and demons, as well as images of fairy tales, knights, and the works of Edgar Allen Poe. -- source link
