Publisher's NotePlot Summary--Doré's Illustrations for "Paradise Lost"
I love Dore's work!
Dire meraviglia è dire poco
Just fantastic. And to consider it was wood print, too.
The pictures are all black and white making it difficult to remotely any detail.
Working largely with the illustrations, a most excellent experience.
It's stupid how often I flip through this book. I love it.Definitely my favorite classic-author-and-artist combo. I don't use the word "breathtaking," so I'll call them stunning. I have dreams of a house with wall-sized versions of each of these plates. That's my dream house. Lots of walls, lots of Dore, Gorey, McKean, Mucha, Rothko, Lisbeth Zwerger...and Thomas Kinkade, the painter of light.Even a dream house can't be perfect.It shouldn't be. If it was you might stop dreaming...
The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. It makes a great companion while reading Milton's Paradise Lost.
Exquisite reproduction of Gustave Dore's illustrations of Paradise Lost.
Beautiful reproductions of Dore's illustrations of Milton's Paradise Lost. Details are incredible. Dynamic of the scenes is breath-taking, just look at those parts where angels roam the Earth. Pure joy for the eyes. Proportions, light, scenery (especially from the creation part of the story), everything looks epic.I have a feeling that Dore's art was inspiration for the golden age comic artists like Hal Foster.Excellent art book, highly recommended to Dore's fans and graphics aficionados.
Exceptional
This guy had a studio of people working for him. A large studio. So, artists, you don't have to kill yourself after you read this. You just need to make enough money to hire all your friends and then such things as this book are possible.
excellent reproductions.

Very good illustrations for Milton's Paradise Lost. This book includes summaries of each part of Paradise Lost, which helped me tremendously as I trudged through half of the actual thing.
Today, we say that we have seen the movie but not read the book. There was a time when great books did not get made into movies. Great books, such as John Milton's Paradise Lost, were brought to life by illustrators such as Gustave Doré. I haven't read Milton's epic poem. On the one hand, Doré's illustrations give me the sense of not having to but, on the other hand, it also gives me the sense of wanting to read it someday.No matter how gruesome the subject matter of these 50 plates is, includin...
