The original work, from + which this collection has been made, met with an immediate and warm + recognition and acceptance among those whose means admitted of its + purchase, and its popularity has in no wise diminished since its first + publication, but has even extended to those who could only enjoy it + casually, or in fragmentary parts. That work, however, in its entirety, + was far too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's + admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this class, and + to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs upon sacred subjects + for art-loving Biblical students generally, this work was projected and + has been carried forward. The aim has been to introduce subjects of + general interest—that is, those relating to the most prominent + events and personages of Scripture—those most familiar to all + readers; the plates being chosen with special reference to the known taste + of the American people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, + narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the design. + Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the work, while in + progress, was under the pains-taking and careful scrutiny of artists and + scholars not directly interested in the undertaking, but still having a + generous solicitude for its success. It is hoped, therefore, that its + general plan and execution will render it acceptable both to the + appreciative and friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who + would wish to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of + illustrations upon sacred themes. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </p> + <h2> + GUSTAVE DORE. + </h2> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <p> + The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and variously + gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age when most men have + scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and are still under the direction + and discipline of their masters and the schools, he had won a brilliant + reputation, and readers and scholars everywhere were gazing on his work + with ever-increasing wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious + gifts. He has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before + unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before unsuspected. + He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, explored and embellished + fields hitherto lying waste, and opened new and shining paths and vistas + where none before had trod. To the works of the great he has added the + lustre of his genius, bringing their beauties into clearer view and + warming them to a fuller life. + </p> + <p> + His delineations of character, in the different phases of life, from the + horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, attest the versatility + of his powers; and, whatever faults may be found by critics, the public + will heartily render their quota of admiration to his magic touch, his + rich and facile rendering of almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet + dormant, in the human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his + various beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the + treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with fresh + gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent traits we will + refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of Nature. + </p> + <p> + His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the Vosges + doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. There he wandered, + and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight of wood and valley, mountain—pass + and rich ravine, whose variety of form and detail seems endless to the + enchanted eye. He has caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has + laid her hand upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold + and truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest + scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so patriarchal the + giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' gazer is at once satisfied + and entranced. His vistas lie slumbering with repose either in shadowy + glade or fell ravine, either with glint of lake or the glad, long course + of some rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, + he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of angry + storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or heavens serene and + fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, after the earth has + rendered all her gifts. + </p> + <p> + Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January 10, 1833. Of + his boyhood we have no very particular account. At eleven years of age, + however, he essayed his first artistic creation—a set' of + lithographs, published in his native city. The following year found him in + Paris, entered as a 7. student at the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual + work began in 1848, when his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of + Hercules," was given to the public through the medium of an illustrated, + journal with which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 + were published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and + those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque in + the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to fancy; + the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, shipwrecks, + turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and terrible aspects. + Every incident or suggestion that could possibly make the story more + effective, or add to the horror of the scenes was seized upon and + portrayed with wonderful power. These at once gave the young designer a + great reputation, which was still more enhanced by his subsequent works. + </p> + <p> + With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her in her + varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest achievements + were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at home in the actual + world also, as witness his designs for "Atala," "London—a + Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don Quixote." + </p> + <p> + When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the fact + considered that in almost every task he attempted none had ventured before + him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly incredible. To enumerate + the immense tasks he undertook—some single volumes alone containing + hundreds of illustrations—will give some faint idea of his industry. + Besides those already mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, + Rabelais, Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner," + Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," and + others still. + </p> + <p> + Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don Quixote"—and + glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor involved in their production + is surprising; but when the quality of the work is properly estimated, + what he accomplished seems prodigious. No particular mention need be made + of him as painter or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his + work as an illustrator. + </p> + <p> + Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful in + appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill as a + violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed with his + pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a musician. + </p> + <p> + He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his mother—married, + as he expressed it, to her and his art. His death occurred on January 23, + 1883. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </p> + <h2> + LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS + </h2> + <p> + <br /> <a href="#linkfront">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br /><br /> <a

In "Paradise Lost," the poetic genius of Milton, going more + into detail, describes how Eve awoke to consciousness, and found herself + reposing under a shade of flowers, much wondering what she was and whence + she came. Wandering by the margin of a small lake, she sees her own form + mirrored in the clear waters, at which she wonders more. But a voice is + heard, leading her to him for whom she was made, who lies sleeping under a + grateful shade. It is at this point the artist comes to interpret the + poet's dream. Amid the varied and luxurious foliage of Eden, in the vague + light of the early dawn, Eve is presented, coy and graceful, gazing on her + sleeping Lord, while in the background is faintly outlined the mystic form + of Him in whose image they were created. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a name="link002" id="link002"></a> <br /><br /> + </p> + <h2> + THE EXPULSION FROM THE GARDEN. + </h2> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a href="images/002.jpg">ENLARGE TO FULL SIZE</a> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%;"> + <img alt="002th.jpg (37K)" src="images/002th.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <p> + And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know + good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the + tree of life, and eat, and live forever: Therefore, the Lord God sent him + forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was + taken.

She was the first person to whom he appeared after his resurrection + (Mark xvi, 9; John xx, 1, 11-18) The common belief that she was a fallen + woman is destitute of the slightest foundation. On the contrary, the + references to her as being in the company of such women as Joanna, the + wife of Herod's steward, Salome, the mother of James and John, and Mary, + the mother of Jesus (Luke viii, 3; Mark xvi, 40; John xix, 25), strongly + discountenance such a supposition. The error, which had no other source + than ecclesiastical tradition, has been fostered and perpetuated by the + stupid blunder of the translators of the authorized version in identifying + her with the "sinner" who is described in Luke vii, 37-50 as washing the + feet of Jesus with her tears (see head-note to Luke vii). + </p> + <p> + The Roman Catholic notion that this "sinner" was Mary the sister of + Lazarus is almost equally groundless (see Douay Bible, head-note to + Matthew xxvi, and the foot-note references to Luke vii, 37, found in most + Catholic Bibles). The only reason for this identification is that the + anointing by the "sinner" is described as taking place in the house of a + Pharisee named Simon (Luke vii, 36, 39-40 43-44); that the anointing by + the unnamed woman, as described in Matthew xxvi, 6-13 and Mark xiv, 3-9, + took place in the house of one "Simon the leper," in Bethany; and that + Mary, the sister of Lazarus, is described in John xi, 2, and xii, 3-8, as + anointing Jesus in a house (apparently that of Lazarus himself) in + Bethany, when a conversation ensues altogether different from that + recorded in Luke vii, but similar to that related in Matthew xxvi, and + Mark xiv, save that the objection to the anointing of Jesus is made, not + by "his disciples" (Matthew xxvi, 8), not by "some that had indignation" + (Mark xiv, 4), but by "one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son" + (John xii, 4). The demeanor of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, is, however, + by no means that of a fallen and sinful though penitent woman but that of + a pious and good one (see Luke x, 39, 42; John xi, 28-33; xii, 3). + </p> + <p> + Dore's illustration, which portrays Mary Magdalene as a heartbroken and + despairing sinner, shows that he has fallen into the common error. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a name="link082" id="link082"></a> <br /><br /> + </p> + <h2> + THE LAST SUPPER. + </h2> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a href="images/082.jpg">ENLARGE TO FULL SIZE</a> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%;"> + <img alt="082th.jpg (34K)" src="images/082th.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <p> + Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to + Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat + the passover?

When + they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate + that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord and + they went out and passed on through one street and forthwith the angel + departed from him. + </p> + <p> + And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that + the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of + Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.—Acts + xii, 1-11 + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a name="link097" id="link097"></a> <br /><br /> + </p> + <h2> + PAUL AT EPHESUS. + </h2> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a href="images/097.jpg">ENLARGE TO FULL SIZE</a> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%;"> + <img alt="097th.jpg (34K)" src="images/097th.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <p> + And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having + passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus; and finding certain + disciples, he said unto them, Have ye, received the Holy Ghost since ye + believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether + there be any Holy Ghost. And he, said unto them, Unto what then were ye + baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily + baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they + should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ + Jesus. + </p> + <p> + When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. + And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; + and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about + twelve. + </p> + <p> + And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three + months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. + </p> + <p> + But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that + way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the + disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this + continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia + heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. + </p> + <p> + And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: so that from his + body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases + departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. + </p> + <p> + Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over + them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure + you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, + a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit + answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the + man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and + prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and + wounded. + </p> + <p> + And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; + and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. + And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many + of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and + burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found + it fifty thousand pieces of silver. + </p> + <p> + So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.—Acts xix, 1—20. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a name="link098" id="link098"></a> <br /><br /> + </p> + <h2> + PAUL MENACED BY THE JEWS. + </h2> + <p> + <br /><br /> <a href="images/098.jpg">ENLARGE TO FULL SIZE</a> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%;"> + <img alt="098th.jpg (40K)" src="images/098th.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <p> + Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow + on them; them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with + them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, + whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou + thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. + </p> + <p> + Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them + entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of + purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of + them. + </p> + <p> + And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, + when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands + on him, crying out, Men of Israel, help: this is the man, that teacheth + all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and + further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy + place.

Then the chief + captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two + chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. And some cried one + thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the + certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. + And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the + soldiers for the violence of the people. For the multitude of the people + followed after, crying, Away with him. + </p> + <p> + And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, + May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? Art not thou that + Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into + the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? But Paul said, I am + a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean + city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. + </p> + <p> + And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned + with the hand unto the people.

Wherefore I pray you to take some meat; for + this is for your health: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of + any of you. + </p> + <p> + And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in + presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat. Then + were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. + </p> + <p> + And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. + </p> + <p> + And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the + wheat into the sea.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br> +<a name="contents"></a> +<br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.net + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + + diff --git a/old/orig8710-h/images/001.jpg b/old/orig8710-h/images/001.jpg Binary files differnew file

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br> +<a name="contents"></a> +<br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.net + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + + diff --git a/old/orig8710-h/p1.htm b/old/orig8710-h/p1.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..12bc038 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/orig8710-h/p1.htm @@ -0,0 +1,654 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> +<html> +<head> +<title>Dore Bible Gallery, Vol. 1</title> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> + +<style type="text/css"> + <!-- + body {background:#faebd7; margin:15%; text-align:justify} + P { text-indent: 1em; + margin-top: .75em; + margin-bottom: .75em; } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { text-align: center; } + HR { width: 33%; text-align: center; } + blockquote {font-size: 97%; } + .figleft {float: left;} + .figright {float: right;} + .toc { margin-left: 15%; margin-bottom: 0em;} + CENTER { padding: 10px;} + PRE { font-family: Times; font-size: 97%; margin-left: 15%;} + // --> +</style> + +</head> +<body> + +<center> +<table summary="" cellPadding=4 border=3> +<tr><td> + <a href="p2.htm">Next Part</a> +</td><td> + <a href="8710-h.htm">Main Index</a> + + </td></tr> +</table> +</center> +<br><br> + + +<center> +<h1>THE DORE GALLERY OF BIBLE ILLUSTRATIONS</h1> +<br><br> +<h2>By Gustave Dore</h2> +<br><br> +<h3>Volume 1.</h3> +</center> +<br><br> + +<center><i> With a click all images will expand to their full size</i></center> + +<br><br> + +<center> +<a href="images/cover2.jpg"><img alt="cover3.jpg (34K)" src="images/cover3.jpg" height="658" width="478"></a> +</center> +<br><br> +<center> +<a name="front"></a> +<br><br> +<a href="images/front.jpg"><img alt="front2.jpg (57K)" src="images/front2.jpg" height="660" width="484"></a> +</center> +<br><br><br><br> +<center> +<a href="images/titlepage.jpg"><img alt="titlepg.jpg (39K)" src="images/titlepg.jpg" height="725" width="539"></a> +</center> +<br><br><br><br> + +<p>This volume, as its title indicates, is a collection of +engravings illustrative of the Bible—the designs being all from +the pencil of the greatest of modern delineators, Gustave Dore. +The original work, from which this collection has been made, met +with an immediate and warm recognition and acceptance among those +whose means admitted of its purchase, and its popularity has in +no wise diminished since its first publication, but has even +extended to those who could only enjoy it casually, or in +fragmentary parts. That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner," +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> +<p> +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> + + + + + + +<a href="#001">THE CREATION OF EVE</a><br> +<a href="#002">THE EXPULSION FROM THE GARDEN</a><br> +<a href="#003">THE MURDER OF ABEL</a><br> +<a href="#004">THE DELUGE</a><br> +<a href="#005">NOAH CURSING HAM</a><br> +<a href="#006">THE TOWER OF BABEL</a><br> +<a href="#007">ABRAHAM ENTERTAINS THREE STRANGERS</a><br> +<a href="#008">THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM</a><br> +<a href="#009">THE EXPULSION OF HAGAR</a><br> +<a href="#010">HAGAR IN THE WILDERESS</a><br> + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + + + +<br><br> +<a name="001"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>THE CREATION OF EVE.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/001.jpg"><img alt="001th.jpg (30K)" src="images/001th.jpg" height="471" width="378"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>"And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be +alone; I will make him a helpmeet for him.

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#011">THE TRIAL OF THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM</a><br> +<a href="#012">THE BURIAL OF SARAH</a><br> +<a href="#013">ELIEZER AND REBEKAH</a><br> +<a href="#014">ISAAC BLESSING JACOB</a><br> +<a href="#015">JACOB TENDING THE FLOCKS</a><br> +<a href="#016">JOSEPH SOLD INTO EGYPT</a><br> +<a href="#017">JOSEPH INTERPRETING PHARAOH'S DREAM</a><br> +<a href="#018">JOSEPH MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS BRETHREN</a><br> +<a href="#019">MOSES IN THE BULRUSHES</a><br> +<a href="#020">THE WAR AGAINST GIBEON</a><br> +<a href="#021">SISERA SLAIN BY JAEL</a><br> + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + + + + + +<br><br> +<a name="011"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>THE TRIAL OF THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/011.jpg"><img alt="011th.jpg (27K)" src="images/011th.jpg" height="461" width="370"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt +Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I +am.

Joseph, being seventeen +years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, and the lad +was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, his +father's wives; and Joseph brought unto his father their evil +report. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, +because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of +many colors. And when his brethren saw that their father loved +him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not +speak peaceably unto him.</p> + +<p>And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and +they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray +you, this dream which I have dreamed. For, behold, we were +binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also +stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and +made obeisance to my sheaf. And his brethren said to him, Shalt +thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion +over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for +his words.</p> + +<p>And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, +and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the +sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And +he told it to his father and to his brethren; and his father +rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast +dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to +bow down ourselves to thee to the earth. And his brethren envied +him; but his father observed the saying.</p> + +<p>And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in +Shechem.</p> + +<p>And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. +And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto +them, they conspired against him to slay him. And they said one +to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now, therefore, and +let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, +Some evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will +become of his dreams. And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him +out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. And Reuben +said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is +in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid +him out of their hands to deliver him to his father again.</p> + +<p>And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, +that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors +that was on him; and they took him and cast him into a pit; and +the pit was empty, there was no water in it. And they sat down to +eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, +a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels +bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to +Egypt. And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we +slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, and let us sell +him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he +is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.</p> + +<p>Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and +lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the +Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver; and they brought Joseph +into Egypt.</p> + +<p>And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an +officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.—Genesis xxxvii, +2—12, 17-28, 36</p> + +<br><br> +<a name="017"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>JOSEPH INTERPRETING PHARAOH'S DREAM.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/017.jpg"><img alt="017th.jpg (33K)" src="images/017th.jpg" height="483" width="376"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh +dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.</p> + +<p>And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was +troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, +and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; +but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.</p> + +<p>[At the suggestion of his chief butler Pharaoh sends for +Joseph and relates to him his dreams, which Joseph interprets as +follows:]</p> + +<p>And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God +hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came +up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted +with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. This is the +thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do +he sheweth unto Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great +plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise +after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be +forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the +land; and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of +that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. And for +that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice it is because the +thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to +pass.</p> + +<p>Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, +and set him over the land of Egypt.

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#022">DEBORAH'S SONG OF TRIUMPH</a><br> +<a href="#023">JEPHTHAH MET BY HIS DAUGHTER</a><br> +<a href="#024">JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER AND HER COMPANIONS</a><br> +<a href="#025">SAMSON SLAYING THE LION</a><br> +<a href="#026">SAMSON AND DELILAH</a><br> +<a href="#027">THE DEATH OF SAMSON</a><br> +<a href="#028">NAOMI AND HER DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW</a><br> +<a href="#029">RUTH AND BOAZ</a><br> +<a href="#030">THE RETURN OF THE ARK</a><br> +<a href="#031">SAUL AND DAVID</a><br> +<a href="#032">DAVID SPARING SAUL</a><br> + + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + + + + +<br><br> +<a name="022"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>DEBORAH'S SONG OF TRIUMPH.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/022.jpg"><img alt="022th.jpg (36K)" src="images/022th.jpg" height="496" width="373"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam on that day, +saying:—</p> + +<p>Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, When the people +willingly offered themselves.

At +her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: At her feet he bowed, he +fell: Where he bowed, there he fell down dead. The mother of +Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why +is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his +chariots?

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#033">DEATH OF SAUL</a><br> +<a href="#034">THE DEATH OF ABSALOM</a><br> +<a href="#035">DAVID MOURNING OVER ABSALOM</a><br> +<a href="#036">SOLOMON</a><br> +<a href="#037">THE JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON</a><br> +<a href="#038">THE CEDARS DESTINED FOR THE TEMPLE</a><br> +<a href="#039">THE PROPHET SLAIN BY A LION</a><br> +<a href="#040">ELIJAH DESTROYING THE MESSENGERS OF AHAZIAH</a><br> +<a href="#041">ELIJAH'S ASCENT IN A CHARIOT OF FIRE</a><br> +<a href="#042">DEATH OF JEZEBEL</a><br> +<a href="#043">ESTHER CONFOUNDING HAMAN</a><br> + + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + + + + +<br><br> +<a name="033"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>DEATH OF SAUL.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/033.jpg"><img alt="033th.jpg (42K)" src="images/033th.jpg" height="482" width="377"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of +Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in +mount Gilboa.

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#044">ISAIAH</a><br> +<a href="#045">DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB'S HOST</a><br> +<a href="#046">BARUCH</a><br> +<a href="#047">EZEKIEL PROPHESYIN</a>G<br> +<a href="#048">THE VISION OF EZEKIEL</a><br> +<a href="#049">DANIEL</a><br> +<a href="#050">THE FIERY FURNACE</a><br> +<a href="#051">BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST</a><br> +<a href="#052">DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN</a><br> +<a href="#053">THE PROPHET AMOS</a><br> +<a href="#054">JONAH CALLING NINEVEH TO REPENTANCE</a><br> +<a href="#055">DANIEL CONFOUNDING THE PRIESTS OF BEL</a><br> +<a href="#056">HELIODORUS PUNISHED IN THE TEMPLE</a><br> + + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + + + + +<br><br> +<a name="044"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>ISAIAH.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/044.jpg"><img alt="044th.jpg (29K)" src="images/044th.jpg" height="452" width="373"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>Isaiah (in Hebrew, Yeshayahu, "Salvation of God"), the +earliest and most sublime of the four greater Hebrew prophets, +was the son of Amoz (2 Kings xix, 2-20; Isaiah xxxvii, 2), and he +uttered his oracles during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, +and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Here +also he married, and here, too, his wife, "the desire of his +eyes," was taken from him "with a stroke" (Ezekiel xxiv, 15-18). +His prophetic career extended over twenty-two years, from about +592 B.C. to about 570 B.C.</p> + +<p>The book bearing his name is written in a mystical and +symbolical style, and abounds with visions and difficult +allegories which indicate on the part of the author the +possession of a vivid and sublime imagination. Ezekiel's +authorship of it has been questioned. The Talmud attributes it to +the Great Synagogue, of which Ezekiel was not a member. It is +divisible into two portions. The first (chapters i-xxiv) was +written before, and the second (chapters xxv-xlviii) after, the +destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C, the +eleventh year of the prophet's captivity (Ezekiel xxvi, 1-2; XI, +i).

When, +in the third year of the reign of King Jehoiakim (607, 606, 605, +or 604 B.C.), Jerusalem was first taken by Nebuchadnezzar, +Daniel, then a youth, was among the captives carried to Babylon. +By the king's orders, he, with others of the Jewish youth, was +educated for three years (Daniel i, 3-7). At this time Daniel +acquired the power of interpreting dreams (i, 17), which he used +with such advantage in expounding a dream of Nebuchadnezzar, that +he was made ruler over the whole province of Babylon (Daniel ii, +46-48). Daniel's interpretation of Belshazzar's famous vision +having been fulfilled by the capture of Babylon by Darius, that +conqueror promoted Daniel to the highest office in the kingdom +(Daniel vi, 1-3). The prophet also prospered greatly during the +reign of Cyrus (Daniel vi, 28).</p> + +<p>The book of Daniel is written partly in Chaldaic or Syriac +(the vernacular Aramaic language spoken by the people of +Palestine), and partly in sacred Hebrew. It is manifestly +divisible into two portions. The first (chapters i-vi) narrating +the details of the prophet's life, and the second (chapters +vii-xii) setting forth his apocalyptic visions. Much doubt has +been cast upon the authenticity of the work. The evident +reference in the eleventh chapter to the conquest of Persia by +Alexander the Great, which took place about 330 B.C., or more +than two hundred years after Daniel flourished, has led many +modern critics to believe that the work was composed in the time +of the Maccabees.</p> + +<p>Dore's picture appears to be intended to represent the prophet +meditating over one of the many visions which came to him.</p> + +<br><br> +<a name="050"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>THE FIERY FURNACE.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/050.jpg"><img alt="050th.jpg (32K)" src="images/050th.jpg" height="490" width="381"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and +accused the Jews.

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success.

He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#057">THE NATIVITY</a><br> +<a href="#058">THE STAR IN THE EAST</a><br> +<a href="#059">THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT</a><br> +<a href="#060">THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS</a><br> +<a href="#061">JESUS QUESTIONING THE DOCTORS</a><br> +<a href="#062">JESUS HEALING THE SICK</a><br> +<a href="#063">SERMON ON THE MOUNT</a><br> +<a href="#064">CHRIST STILLING THE TEMPEST</a><br> +<a href="#065">THE DUMB MAN POSSESSED</a><br> +<a href="#066">CHRIST IN THE SYNAGOGUE</a><br> +<a href="#067">THE DISCIPLES PLUCKING CORN ON THE SABBATH</a><br> + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + + + +<br><br> +<a name="057"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>THE NATIVITY.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/057.jpg"><img alt="057th.jpg (37K)" src="images/057th.jpg" height="483" width="375"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a +decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. +(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of +Syria.)

To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success.

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#079">JESUS AND THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY</a><br> +<a href="#080">THE RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS</a><br> +<a href="#081">MARY MAGDALENE</a><br> +<a href="#082">THE LAST SUPPER</a><br> +<a href="#083">THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN</a><br> +<a href="#084">PRAYER OF JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF OLIVES</a><br> +<a href="#085">THE BETRAYAL</a><br> +<a href="#086">CHRIST FAINTING UNDER THE CROSS</a><br> +<a href="#087">THE FLAGELLATION</a><br> +<a href="#088">THE CRUCIFIXION</a><br> +<a href="#089">CLOSE OF THE CRUCIFIXION</a><br> + + + + + + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + + + +<br><br> +<a name="079"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>JESUS AND THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/079.jpg"><img alt="079th.jpg (37K)" src="images/079th.jpg" height="481" width="381"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

We first hear of her as having been +delivered by Jesus of seven devils (Luke viii, 1-3; Mark xvi, 9). +Impelled, no doubt, by gratitude for her deliverance, she becomes +one of his followers, accompanying him thenceforward in all his +wanderings faithfully till his death. She was the first person to +whom he appeared after his resurrection (Mark xvi, 9; John xx, 1, +11-18) The common belief that she was a fallen woman is destitute +of the slightest foundation. On the contrary, the references to +her as being in the company of such women as Joanna, the wife of +Herod's steward, Salome, the mother of James and John, and Mary, +the mother of Jesus (Luke viii, 3; Mark xvi, 40; John xix, 25), +strongly discountenance such a supposition. The error, which had +no other source than ecclesiastical tradition, has been fostered +and perpetuated by the stupid blunder of the translators of the +authorized version in identifying her with the "sinner" who is +described in Luke vii, 37-50 as washing the feet of Jesus with +her tears (see head-note to Luke vii).</p> + +<p>The Roman Catholic notion that this "sinner" was Mary the +sister of Lazarus is almost equally groundless (see Douay Bible, +head-note to Matthew xxvi, and the foot-note references to Luke +vii, 37, found in most Catholic Bibles). The only reason for this +identification is that the anointing by the "sinner" is described +as taking place in the house of a Pharisee named Simon (Luke vii, +36, 39-40 43-44); that the anointing by the unnamed woman, as +described in Matthew xxvi, 6-13 and Mark xiv, 3-9, took place in +the house of one "Simon the leper," in Bethany; and that Mary, +the sister of Lazarus, is described in John xi, 2, and xii, 3-8, +as anointing Jesus in a house (apparently that of Lazarus +himself) in Bethany, when a conversation ensues altogether +different from that recorded in Luke vii, but similar to that +related in Matthew xxvi, and Mark xiv, save that the objection to +the anointing of Jesus is made, not by "his disciples" (Matthew +xxvi, 8), not by "some that had indignation" (Mark xiv, 4), but +by "one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son" (John xii, +4). The demeanor of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, is, however, by +no means that of a fallen and sinful though penitent woman but +that of a pious and good one (see Luke x, 39, 42; John xi, 28-33; +xii, 3).</p> + +<p>Dore's illustration, which portrays Mary Magdalene as a +heartbroken and despairing sinner, shows that he has fallen into +the common error.</p> + +<br><br> +<a name="082"></a> +<br><br> +<center> +<h2>THE LAST SUPPER.</h2> +<br><br> +<a href="images/082.jpg"><img alt="082th.jpg (34K)" src="images/082th.jpg" height="481" width="383"></a> +</center> +<br> + +<p>Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the +disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we +prepare for thee to eat the passover?

That work, however, in its entirety, was far +too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this +class, and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs +upon sacred subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, +this work was projected and has been carried forward. The aim has +been to introduce subjects of general interest—that is, those +relating to the most prominent events and personages of +Scripture—those most familiar to all readers; the plates being +chosen with special reference to the known taste of the American +people. To each cut is prefixed a page of letter-press—in, +narrative form, and containing generally a brief analysis of the +design. Aside from the labors of the editor and publishers, the +work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and careful +scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its +success. It is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and +execution will render it acceptable both to the appreciative and +friendly patrons of the great artist, and to those who would wish +to possess such a work solely as a choice collection of +illustrations upon sacred themes.</p> +<br><br><br><br> +<center><h2>GUSTAVE DORE.</h2></center> +<br> +<p>The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and +variously gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age +when most men have scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and +are still under the direction and discipline of their masters and +the schools, he had won a brilliant reputation, and readers and +scholars everywhere were gazing on his work with ever-increasing +wonder and delight at his fine fancy and multifarious gifts. He +has raised illustrative art to a dignity and importance before +unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil before +unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened +new and shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To +the works of the great he has added the lustre of his genius, +bringing their beauties into clearer view and warming them to a +fuller life.</p> + +<p>His delineations of character, in the different phases of +life, from the horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, +attest the versatility of his powers; and, whatever faults may be +found by critics, the public will heartily render their quota of +admiration to his magic touch, his rich and facile rendering of +almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet dormant, in the +human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his various +beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure—house that his genius is constantly augmenting with +fresh gems and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent +traits we will refer—his wonderful rendering of the powers of +Nature.</p> + +<p>His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the +Vosges doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. +There he wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight +of wood and valley, mountain—pass and rich ravine, whose variety +of form and detail seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has +caught the very spell of the wilderness; she has laid her hand +upon him, and he has gone forth with her blessing. So bold and +truthful and minute are his countless representations of forest +scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and stem; so +patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie +slumbering with repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, +either with glint of lake or the glad, long course of some +rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme in a beauty all its own, +he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a wilderness, perhaps, of +angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, fleecy cloud, or +heavens serene and fair—another kingdom to his teeming art, +after the earth has rendered all her gifts.</p> + +<p>Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January +10, 1833. Of his boyhood we have no very particular account. At +eleven years of age, however, he essayed his first artistic +creation—a set' of lithographs, published in his native city. +The following year found him in Paris, entered as a 7. student at +the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work began in 1848, when +his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of Hercules," was given +to the public through the medium of an illustrated, journal with +which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 were +published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "—the first humorous and grotesque +in the highest degree—indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to +fancy; the other weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, +shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, and nature in her most forbidding and +terrible aspects. Every incident or suggestion that could +possibly make the story more effective, or add to the horror of +the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful power. +These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works.</p> + +<p>With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her +in her varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest +achievements were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at +home in the actual world also, as witness his designs for +"Atala," "London—a Pilgrimage," and many of the scenes in "Don +Quixote."</p> + +<p>When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the +fact considered that in almost every task he attempted none had +ventured before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly +incredible. To enumerate the immense tasks he undertook—some +single volumes alone containing hundreds of illustrations—will +give some faint idea of his industry. Besides those already +mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the Bible, Milton, Rabelais, +Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient Mariner, +Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still.</p> + +<p>Take one of these works—the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don +Quixote"—and glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor +involved in their production is surprising; but when the quality +of the work is properly estimated, what he accomplished seems +prodigious. No particular mention need be made of him as painter +or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his work as an +illustrator.</p> + +<p>Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful +in appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill +as a violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed +with his pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a +musician.</p> + +<p>He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother—married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His +death occurred on January 23, 1883.</p> +<br><br><br><br> + +<center> +<table summary="Illustrations"> +<tr><td> +<h2>LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS</h2> +<br> + +<a href="#front">GUSTAVE DORE</a><br> +<a href="#090">THE BURIAL OF JESUS</a><br> +<a href="#091">THE ANGEL AT THE SEPULCHER</a><br> +<a href="#092">THE JOURNEY TO EMMAUS</a><br> +<a href="#093">THE ASCENSION</a><br> +<a href="#094">THE MARTYRDOM OF ST.
