This review is from: Dore's Illustrations of the Crusades (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)

Beautiful, lyrical,and sensuous images from the Crusades.I am enraprured by the scope,graphic power and compositional greatness of this largely forgotten artist. Though we may look at the politics of the Crusades differently than the Victorians, this book is sure to please any fan of 19th century art. One look at Dore and you see where Cecil B. Demille got much of his inspiration.

This review is from: Dore's Illustrations of the Crusades (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)

Excellent book. This is a must-have for fans of Dore's work. I'm almost tempted to buy a second copy to frame a few pages. I will say that the paper is not exactly bright-white, compared to similar products (The Dore Bible Illustrations, The Dore Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy), but I'm not going to take a star away on account of that.
