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.

Just fantastic. And to consider it was wood print, too.
