Around him couples embrace, one young man still holding his lute, armoured men lie at ease and small dogs tumble on the paving, while a towering fortified palace of turrets and spires fills the distance under a streaked sky. Signed G. Doré at lower left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: wood engraving after Gustave Doré for François Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book Two, chapter 5, from the Œuvres de Rabelais published by Garnier frères, Paris, 1873.\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.
