Paul Gustave Doré

6.1.1832 – 23.1.1883
a French artist, engraver, illustrator and sculptor

 Gustave Dore is, to me at least, best known for his Bible and Dante illustrations. I love the graphic design of his images... as can be seen here: Paul Gustave Dore at Miscellaneous Pics

 I didn't know of his color work until quite recently.
