Gustave Doré and The Bible

Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to Gustave Doré’s Illustrated Bible and analyzes the relationship between image and biblical text in it. The connection between the word of the Holy Bible and the artist’s illustrations as secular art is sought and presented. The artist’s approach to the biblical text, the choice of scenes and plots for illustration, the author’s visual interpretations, the peculiarities of the technique and graphic solutions for the most impactful transmission of the inner energy of the biblical narrative from Creation to the New Jerusalem are discussed. The connection is made between the life of illustrations as secular art and their existence as engravings that make the biblical message visible in the printed text of the Bible as Holy Scripture materialized in a technically reproduced book.
