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. ( )

Working largely with the illustrations, a most excellent experience. ( )
