Biography
French artist, painter and sculptor who illustrated literary masterpieces. His work took him to Paris in 1847 where he produced weekly lithographic caricatures for "Le Journal Pour Rire" 1848-1851. Doré is chiefly remembered for his wood-engraved book illustrations, especially those for the works of Rabelais, Don Quixote, Inferno, and Paradise Lost. His best known sculpture is the statue of Alexandre Dumas. Doré was decorated by the Legion d'Honneur in 1861 and made an officer in 1879.
