{"product_id":"dores-illustrations-for-dantes-divine-comedy","title":"Doré’s Illustrations for Dante’s Divine Comedy","description":"\u003cp\u003eDante’s journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise gave Gustave Doré a subject equal to his extraordinary sense of scale. This volume brings together all 135 plates from his interpretation of The Divine Comedy, allowing the sequence to be explored as an extended visual journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying lines from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s translation connect the illustrations with Dante’s poem. Towering landscapes, densely gathered figures and radiant visions show how Doré builds atmosphere through line, light and the relationship between a human body and its surroundings. Viewed in sequence, the images offer a chance to follow his changing treatment of suffering, ascent and revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 144-page paperback is an illustrated plate collection, rather than a complete reading edition of Dante’s poem. It is a fitting choice for readers interested in literary illustration, Gothic imagery and Doré’s dramatic handling of the supernatural. It also offers a focused way to study how one illustrator translates a sustained literary vision into pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:inherit;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:500;\"\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor \/ contributors: Gustave Doré\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Dover Publications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9780486232317\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery charges are shown at checkout.
