Summary

Gustave Dora: Bible

Translator: Ivan Ev. Šarić

230 illustrations with excerpts from the New and Old Testaments

Illustrated Bible by Gustave Doré, one of the greatest French illustrators and graphic artists of the 19th century, is one of the most significant illustrated Bibles of all time and remains unsurpassed in its artistic value. It contains 230 illustrations with excerpts from the Old and New Testaments, and this Verbum edition brings them high-quality digitized along with the biblical text translated by Ivan Šarić. Refined contemporary design and high-quality binding make this book a perfect gift, but also an eternal reader inspiration whose reading and flipping can last for hours.

In the era when it appeared, without the media we are surrounded by today, it met with great approval from both expert critics and the public who could see dramatic biblical events illustrated in such a comprehensive book for the first time.
At a time when pictures with biblical motifs could only be seen in museums and churches Doré's Bible had great significance because it brought the illustrated word of God into many homes, and it still does so today, almost 200 years later.

Its popularity was enormous, and its influence on art and visual culture is incalculable. A true masterpiece of illustration is deeply rooted in our tradition, and now it will conquer a new audience with its repeated edition. Illustrations of motifs from the Old and New Testaments will bring the stories from the Bible closer to many people with their dramatic, suggestive and aesthetic approach and reveal the richness and power of God's word through the medium of art. Although published almost two centuries ago, this illustrated Bible is still published all over the world, finds its place in home libraries and introduces new generations of young readers to the world of biblical events, thus proving that it does not belong to the past, but that its role is just as important today as it was at the time of its publication and that it belongs to the future.
