DORE, PAUL GUSTAVE, (1832-1883), French artist, the son of a civil engineer, was born at Strasbourg on Jan. 6, 5832, and died in Paris on Jan. 23, 1883. In 1848 he came to Paris and secured a three years' engagement on the Journal pour rire. His facility as a draughtsman was extraordinary, and among the books he illustrated in rapid succession were Balzac's Contes drolatiques (1855), Dante's Inferno (1861), Don Quixote (1863), The Bible (1865), Paradise Lost (1866), the Fables of La Fon taine (1867), and the works of Rabelais (1873). He painted also many large and ambitious compositions of a religious or his torical character, and had some success as a sculptor. Dore's illustrations had a great popular success over a long period of years, especially in England and America. See W. B. Jerrold, Life of Gustave Dore (1891).
