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.

Genesis ii, 18, 21-24.</p> + +<p>In these few words the Scriptures narrate the creation of the +first mother of our race. 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.
