Dore Gustave — marelibri

1862réf. 79640Paris: Hetzel 1862. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1862 29.90 x 42.10 cm une feuille Original wood engraving signed on the plate by the artist and engraver. Composition created by Gustave Doré and engraved by Héliodore Pisan on China paper and mounted on Dutch laid paper at the request of publisher Hetzel to illustrate his folio edition of Perrault's Contes in 1862. A pale marginal dampstain not touching the image as well as a small tear without loss and not affecting the engraving at the bottom and wormhole in the lower margin. These illustrations for the Contes are considered the most successful for this text: Gustave Doré offers an unprecedented dramatic vision. With him everything contributes to the dramatization of the tale from the theatrical staging of the tableau to the smallest details that generate terrifying realism through the technique known as ""tinted wood."" He uses India ink or gouache previously diluted as required by the ""wash"" technique. For Perrault's tales the eleven best engravers of the period were enlisted to engrave with burin the forty wooden plates: Pannemaker Pisan Pierdon Maurand Boetzel Brevière Hébert Deschamps Dumont Delduc and Fagnon. Gustave Doré's work in illustrating the Contes is essential; he does not reduce engraving to its ornamental function but transforms it into a true object of narration. These illustrations are Doré's most famous works and immediately received enthusiastic reviews notably that of Sainte-Beuve in Les Nouveaux lundis December 23 1861: ""Un Perrault comme il n'y en eut jamais jusqu'ici et comme il ne s'en verra plus. . Je ne puis que dire que ces dessins me semblent fort beaux d'un tour riche et opulent qu'ils ont un caractère grandiose qui renouvelle l'aspect de ces humbles contes et leur rend de leur premier merveilleux antérieur à Perrault même."" ""A Perrault like there never was before and as there will never be again. . I can only say that these drawings seem very beautiful to me of a rich and opulent style that they have a grandiose character that renews the aspect of these humble tales and restores to them their original wonder that preceded even Perrault.""
