Passepartout cm 32,5×25 Good conditions. Gustave Dor (1832 – 1883) was a 19th-century French engraver, painter, sculptor and book illustrator. He is world famous for his imaginative and iconic depictions of many classics of world literature. Dor was blessed with a tremendous graphic talent which enabled him to draw even the most fantastical settings and creatures in a realistic and believable way. His illustrations of the Bible, ‘Don Quixote’, ‘Paradise Lost’, ‘Baron Munchhausen’, Dante’s ‘Divina Commedia’ and Charles Perrault’s ‘Fairy Tales of Mother Goose’, to name a few, are still regarded as the definitive artistic interpretations of these stories. He visualized literary characters like Don Quixote, Baron Munchhausen and Puss in Boots in such a vivid manner that they’ve become part of human collective memory.
