Illustrations by Gustave Doré Now in the Public Domain (i.e. Free to Copy) |
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.
