{"product_id":"gustave-dore-death-on-the-pale-horse-wood-engraving-print","title":"Gustave Doré — Death on the Pale Horse | Wood Engraving Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cloaked, hooded figure rides a leaping pale horse through billowing dark clouds, a scythe-like blade at the hip. Winged, taloned creatures and a large-jawed beast cluster in the smoke behind the rider. Below, the horse's forelegs break through pale cumulus clouds toward a dark void. Fine engraved hatching renders the entire scene in black and white; 'Gve Doré' is signed at lower left, and the engraver 'H. Pisan' is credited at lower right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engraving illustrates Revelation 6:8, in which Death rides out on a pale horse with Hell following behind him, the fourth of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Doré made it for La Grande Bible de Tours (Mame, 1866), his 241-plate illustrated Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGustave Doré (1832–1883) was a French illustrator, painter and sculptor from Strasbourg, and the most prolific and widely reproduced book illustrator of the nineteenth century. Largely self-taught, he was publishing caricatures in Paris at fifteen, and from the late 1850s his wood-engraved plates for Dante's Inferno (1861), Perrault's fairy tales (1862), Cervantes, Milton, the Bible (1866) and Poe's The Raven (1884) fixed the look of those books for generations of readers. Engraved by a workshop led by Héliodore Pisan and Adolphe Pannemaker, his designs combine minute detail with theatrical light, vast landscapes and crowds of figures. From the 1860s he also painted large canvases and Alpine, Scottish and Spanish landscapes, exhibited at the Doré Gallery in London, and turned to sculpture in his last decade. His work is held by the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
