Gustave DoréGustave Doré.

Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (UK: DOR-ay, US: dor-AY;; 6 January 1832 to 23 January 1883) was a French artist. He is best known for his prolific output of wood-engravings illustrating classic literature, especially those for the Vulgate Bible and Dante's Divine Comedy. These achieved great international success, and he became renowned for printmaking, although his role was normally as the designer only; at the height of his career some 40 block-cutters were employed to cut his drawings onto the wooden printing blocks, usually also signing the image.
