French artist Gustave Doré (1832-1883) produced

hundreds of quality Bible story illustrations in his lifetime.  These

illustrations were used in Bibles of many languages in Nineteenth Century

Europe and later in the Americas.  Many masters produced such artwork

for illustrating Biblical themes, and Doré was among the most famous

of them.

Doré’s realistic style breathed new life into these

real stories.  Centuries of mosaics, frescos, and stone reliefs, with

their precise iconography, along with wood block impressions (recall the

ever present halos on particular subjects) had caricaturized many Bible

stories in the minds of believers.  But his persons and places look

real.  Gustave Doré’s work (and artistic license) was criticized

by some in his own day, but these illustrations stand the test of time

as good physical representations of important Biblical events.

A regular graphics program (e.g. “PhotoShop” or “Paint Shop Pro”) will

print these JPG images much better than by using your web browser.
