EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the young and talented Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist and engraver, in the year 1833. Doré's expressive face, adorned with a full moustache, reveals the intensity and passion that fueled his artistic pursuits. At the time this image was captured, Doré was already making a name for himself in the art world, having begun his career as an engraver at the age of 15. Born in Strasbourg, Doré's artistic abilities were apparent from an early age. He was largely self-taught, but his talent did not go unnoticed. In 1827, he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he honed his skills under the tutelage of renowned artists. Doré's work spanned various genres, including illustrations for books, religious and mythological scenes, and even caricatures. His most famous works include the illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy and the engravings for Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. Doré's unique style, characterized by intricate details and dramatic contrasts, set him apart from his contemporaries. This print, titled "Figaro Albu," is a testament to Doré's skill as an engraver. The image depicts the character Figaro from Mozart's opera, The Marriage of Figaro. Doré's ability to capture the essence of the character's personality through his artistry is evident in the intricately detailed costume, the expressive face, and the lively energy conveyed in the image. By the time of this print, Doré had already achieved great success in the art world. He continued to produce groundbreaking works until his death in 1883. Today, Doré's legacy as a master engraver and artist continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
