1845 Days Dore Flies Omen Raven Saintly Shutters Stately
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Stately Raven of the Saintly Days of Yore Flies In: An Exquisite Illustration from the Pen of Gustave Doré, Depicting the Iconic Figure of Edgar Allan Poe's Raven This evocative and hauntingly beautiful image, titled 'Poe's Raven Flies In,' is an exquisite illustration by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré. Dated back to 1845, this masterpiece captures the essence of Edgar Allan Poe's iconic poem 'The Raven,' which first appeared in print just a year earlier. The image transports us back to the saintly days of yore, with its intricate details and historical significance. The illustration showcases a stately raven, perched elegantly on a windowsill, as it flies in through an open window. The window, adorned with intricate shutters, is reminiscent of the grandeur of the past, while the raven's arrival serves as an omen of the unknown. The bird's dark, brooding presence contrasts with the soft, gentle light that filters in through the window, creating a striking juxtaposition of light and dark. The raven, with its piercing eyes and outstretched wings, gazes intently at the books and parchment scattered on the table below. The image invites us to ponder the mysteries of the human mind and the power of literature to transport us to other worlds. The shutters, slightly ajar, suggest an invitation to explore the unknown, much like the enigmatic raven itself. This illustration, published in the same year as the first edition of Poe's poem, is a testament to the enduring influence of Poe's work and the artistic vision of Gustave Doré. It is a must-have for any collector of literary art or those with an appreciation for the macabre and the mysterious.
