Talk:Gustave Doré

Untitled
Perhaps it should be mentioned he's know for his line drawing illustrations?

An example?
Is by Doré? If so, you could insert it in the page.
 * It is Don Quixote 7th illustration by Doré.--Garcilaso 17:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

drawings
- there are numerous references in the article to published books with "drawings" (& above here). These are not drawings as such but prints, but in what technique? Lithographs perhaps. Someone should check it out & correct the article Johnbod 14:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Poor Formatting
Due to the amount of pictures in this article, the formatting is messy. Take note of the horizontal rules in between sections, especially. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 1000Faces (talk • contribs) 07:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC).


 * We have Commons. Perhaps the number of pictures should be cut down to just give a representive sample.  Goldfritha 19:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Cartoonstock external links
I see that the external link added by Cartoonstock to the Dore was deleted. I have also deleted and seen deleted external links by Cartoonstock on the Aubrey Beardsley page (myself) and elsewhere that I don't remember right now. I think the Cartoonstock external links are marketing and not in the spirit of wikipedia.

Poor Formatting, Works now listed in table format
I moved some of the pictures along the side to the gallery at the bottom. The pictures on the side were obscuring the edit tag on the right for the Works section.

Also, I put the works section in a tabular format and listed the sources for the information. Since originally creating the list of works, I noticed that three enterprising people had entered new data about Gustave Doré works. And, although one of the entries was correct, the other two were terribly flawed (in one extreme case, they had Inferno being published 24 years after its original publication date, by an American publisher no less (the only book originally published by an American publishing house was The Raven, and that was done posthumously. All the rest were French and British publishers.).

Censorship of Doré's Works
I've noticed that many prints of Doré's two works which show God in human form, "The Creation of Light" and "The Formation of Eve," have replaced the human form of God with a blot of light. Does anybody know when these censored prints first surfaced and why? Lefilsdudiable 03:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * In Jewish editions, at a guess. Johnbod (talk) 05:38, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Doré worked primarily with wood engraving and steel engraving.
I don't think so. Doré drew drawings, and the real masters of wood engraving (xylography) were two other people RPSM (talk) 19:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Gallery tag
I'm removing the cleanup tag for the image gallery. If you look at the wikimedia commons category for this subject, this are quite a few images present, and the gallery in this article serves to give a good overview of his works. The images are also properly captioned and seem to coincide with the image MOS. -Verdatum (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Doré's influence
I was working on a review of the Jackson King Kong, and was reminded that the backgrounds -- particularly the skies -- of the 1932 original look as if they were lifted from Doré. A section on his influence -- the copying of his style by others -- might be interesting. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 12:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC) Also look at both of Cecil B. DeMille's two films on "The Ten Commandments" for probable Dore' influences on how scenes were staged. Notably, view the scene where the people are dancing and worshipping the false idol (shaped like a golden calf).Lindisfarnelibrary (talk) 14:58, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Doré's illustrations to La Fontaine
Could someone please place in Wikimedia Commons, photos of Doré's illustrations to La Fontaine's Fables? Nihil novi (talk) 09:17, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The book The Rime of the Ancient Mariner[14] says in its' introduction that the images were done with steel etchings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.194.142 (talk) 03:29, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Works
Could someone who knows French add translations to the names of the works collected in the article? Thanks 109.65.16.158 (talk) 14:46, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

First names
Doré was baptized "Louis Auguste Gustave". What is the "Paul" doing in this article?--62.47.139.76 (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Poor use of wikilinks
Wikilinks are poorly used throughout this article. For instance, text about Doré's illustrations for an edition of the Bible is linked, not to that edition, but to Bible. This does not lead the reader to more information about Doré or his work, and I invite other editors to help me fix the wikilinks. WCCasey (talk) 22:34, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism?

From the French


Suggestion: The gallery should be sorted into multiple galleries by groups, as has been done in the his French WP page. The French article also has list of sculptures, but I don't know how complete it is. Also suggest that his paintings be better represented; for example, Les Saltimbanques ("The Magicians", right) has an entire article devoted to its analysis:. Really, the gallery is a bit of overkill; it should represent a few examples of each type and/or source. The reader can access the Wikimedia collection for more. ~Just my ₣0.10 worth (2¢), ~E:74.60.29.141 (talk) 17:28, 7 December 2012 (UTC) P.s.: I was going to add the following informative link to 'External links' - but that is already over-spamified.
 * Gustave Doré and The Private Library ← (also a potential source for citing)

Missing King James Bible from the list of his notable illustrations
Gustave Doré also illustrated the King James Bible in 1865, but it is not shown in the list, being one of his most notable projects it should be added to the list. Abrahamic Faiths (talk) 18:18, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
