SynopsisDetailed plates from the Bible: the Creation scenes, Adam and Eve, horrifying visions of the Flood, the battle sequences with their monumental crowds, depictions of the life of Jesus and visions of the new Jerusalem. Each of the 241 plates is accompanied by the appropriate verses from the King James version of the Bible., Nowhere but in the Bible were dramatic textual material and the artistry of Gustave Doré more perfectly matched. The Book of Books seemed to unleash a new power of creation in Doré not apparent in his previous work. In the Creation scenes, the horrifying visions of the Flood, the battle sequences with their monumental crowds, the plates depicting the life of Jesus -- many of which have now become the standard iconography -- and finally the vision of the New Jerusalem, Doré reached the fullest expressions of his extraordinary talent. This book collects all 241 plates -- long out of print -- that Doré executed for the Bible. In these plates, reproduced from outstanding early editions, the artist not only captures the dramatic intensity of the Scriptures, but sustains it longer than any other single artist was able to do. In addition, Doré reimagined all the scenes, so that what he produced was not a mere reworking of what centuries of other artists had already done, but a new and fresh visual interpretation of the Bible. Each plate is accompanied by the verses from the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible that the scene depicts, and an Introduction by Millicent Rose covers Doré's life and art in general. This is a sumptuous book that everyone, from those interested in Scripture to lovers of great art, will be proud to possess., Nowhere but in the Bible were dramatic textual material and the artistry of Gustave Dor more perfectly matched.

Great Find of a most valuable book!!!
Finding a large paperback book similiar to my hardbound 1934 'Pictures from the Bible' is awesome!! I plan on giving it to my daughter to share with her daughter. This young generation does not know the wonderful art of Gustave Dore, or his story. The preface in the book is a great history lesson of young Gustave Dore.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Far beyond expectations
Dover always does a very good job with Dore; I have two or three others, But this is incredible at any price. I also like the cites to the chapters/verses.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
