Founder of the comic strip, most important illustrator in the history of art - the critics of the 21st century are full of praise for the work of the great French artist. This was not always the case. Born in Strasbourg in 1832, Doré quickly made a career. His great talent was already evident in his childhood, when he illustrated Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy at the age of nine. Four years later he moved to Paris with his family and at the age of fifteen had his first job as a draughtsman at the Journal pour rire. In the same year, 1847, his first own work, a creative depiction of the adventures of Hercules, was published by the then leading publisher Aubert.
His international breakthrough came in 1853 when he was asked to illustrate a new edition of the English Bible. The illustrations contributed by Doré caused a great stir and from then on influenced the style of many young artists of his time. The success of the Bible illustration led to follow-up orders from England and brought Doré great commercial success. Despite his picture book career, the artist repeatedly dealt with the social conflict issues of his time. In one of his most famous works, London: A Pilgrimage, Doré portrays the British capital, focusing on motifs from the working class. A monstrosity, measured against the standards of his time, for which Doré received harsh criticism, especially in his home country. But this only served to fuel his success as an artist and pioneer of the modern picture book.
Doré died in Paris in 1883 as a result of a heart attack, and his groundbreaking illustrations still shape the collective consciousness today.
