Doré's Illustrations for Don Quixote (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)

Loved this version of Dore’s work!! I never truly knew the story of Don Quixote and this was like looking at Quixote greatest hits. I’m hoping that the publishers get more of Dores work out there ... I have most of Dovers books on Dore and it’s only a fraction of what he put out there!!

This is from the 'classic' days of Dover pubs. For the price: good line repro, clear definition, and not a buncha bullcrap - if you're looking for faithful, readable, 'clear' repro. of Doré's work, this is really the no-nonsense, no fuss, go to thing...

The illustrations are even more beautiful than I thought they would be. The book is good quality too. I bought it fur a friend who loves Don Quixote. The pictures are labeled with what scene they depict and seem to go in chronological order.

Beautiful illustrations of Don Quixote

I purchased a series of Dore collection books for my mother, who is an artist, and has drawn inspiration from Dore's work. Dore's woodcuts are timeless and if this theme appeals to you then you will be very happy.

I ordered Dore's Illustrations for Don Quixote, because I am a university professor who covers Don Quixote in one of my courses. I wanted some spectacular pictures to include in the visual side of my presentation. I am very satisfied, because I believe that Dore is able to render the essence of Cervante's words. One of the things which I emphasize in the course is that great works of literature engender other art forms.

There’s a lot of sick devils in here bruh

É um excelente livro carregado de várias ilustrações do Grande mestre Gustave Dorér.

No es una edición de lujo, la relación precio costo es justa y contiene obras excelentes .

The illustrations are amazing. I loved it.

Unfortunately the book was damaged, so I had to return it. However, the illustrations inside are good quality, big format, the color of the paper is quite white so the contrast is great. It is a good purchase, if one happens to get a book that has not been mistreated. I dont give it 5* because I found some of the illustrations maybe too dark to be properly enjoyed. But they are engravings, this is quite common and something to be expected.

Me encanta este autor, increíble la cantidad de obra que realizó, el libro está muy bien de precio y en cuanto a la calidad de la impresión no se le puede pedir más.
