EDITORS COMMENTS

Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist of the 19th century, captured the essence of various themes and stories through his intricate engravings. From depicting the celestial beauty in Dante's Paradiso to illustrating the dark alleys of Victorian London, Doré's artistic prowess knew no bounds. In Canto 31 of Paradiso, Doré skillfully portrayed a saintly throng forming a celestial rose (rose celeste) in the empyrean. The delicate details and ethereal aura emanating from his work transport viewers into this divine realm. Contrasting with this heavenly scene is Doré's depiction of Victorian London as a shady place. Through his engravings, he exposed the grim reality lurking behind its grand façade, shedding light on societal issues that plagued this era. Doré also delved into literature by bringing Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to life. His illustration capturing the moment when the mariner shot an albatross showcases both his attention to detail and ability to convey emotions through art. The Mouth of Hell engraving stands as another testament to Doré's talent for portraying darkness and despair. With meticulous strokes, he depicted Charon, the ferryman guiding lost souls across River Styx into damnation—a haunting image that lingers in one's mind. However, it was not only gloom that fascinated Gustave Doré; he also explored religious themes such as Jesus praying in Gethsemane Garden or Satan vanquished in Milton's Paradise Lost. His ability to capture these profound moments evokes contemplation and introspection within viewers. Doré even ventured beyond literature and religion by illustrating scenes from Don Quixote or depicting social realities like The Devils Acre - Westminster or The New Zealander—each piece showcasing his versatility as an artist who could tackle diverse subjects with equal brilliance.
