I don't see any girl with moose in the pictures I've posted, perhaps there's just something wrong with the linking? All those I posted, as I see them are easily recognizable as Dorés too. Anyone else see this moose? Might as well tell me which it is, I'll remove it and try to replace it by another.
Sure thing...It is your post #36 and here is what you say just prior to the moose (or is it a reindeer?) picture - it is the only one in color - the rest are all black and white etchings, accept this same picture shows up in-between the others further down the post...very strange indeed, if you can't see it...under the print of the girl/moose or reindeer, it says 'Artsy Craftsy'.Quote:

Here is one, I'm not sure if it's an illustration for a book though. A Doré (and a fabulous one too!) nonetheless/
I think it is a problem with the site from which you liked the pictures from, as the first one, and one farther down is an image of a girl with a moose and under it, it says artscraftsy.com
Hey, everyone, if you like this thread - vote at the top for our thread. I just voted "excellent", because it is going so well.
OOh, Janine, thanks for those Parrish pictures. One of them, the girl in blue with her head down in her hands, on the chair, is used as a cover of an Enya cd.
You know, now that you mentioned that I recall seeing it also on Enya's album cover. Do you know which cover it is? Actually, I though the painting by Parrish was a male, but maybe it is a female, perhaps a queen. I guess I was picturing it as a king who was in despear.Quote:

If you like the woman in blue you will like these I believe - they are quite blue; the first is a very famous one by Parrish; you may have seen it before; not sure which book or publication it was painted for originally. I think it is outstanding!

William Blake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Blake in an 1807 portrait by Thomas Phillips.
Born 28 November 1757(1757-11-28)
London, England
Died 12 August 1827 (aged 69)
London, England
Occupation Poet, Painter, Printmaker
Literary movement Romanticism
Influences
Bible, Dante Alighieri, John Milton, Emanuel Swedenborg
Influenced:
William Butler Yeats, Hart Crane, Kahlil Gibran, Allen Ginsberg, John Gardner
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake's work is now considered seminal in the history of both poetry and the visual arts. Blake's prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".[1] His visual artistry has led one modern critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced".[2] Although he only once travelled any farther than a day's walk outside London over the course of his life,[3] his creative vision engendered a diverse and symbolically rich corpus, which embraced 'imagination' as "the body of God",[4] or "Human existence itself".[5]

Dark Muse, this is an excellent tribute to Poe. I love the Clark's - so graphic and dramatic in the stark black and white. I love the Dore's and the Dulacs; I copied some of those (online to my own files) just the other day, but did not realise some of those Dulac's were Poe illustrations. Sandham I have not heard about, but I like the work. I like all the sets you posted; I will have to copy the ones I don't have, for my own offline Poe illustration folder. Thanks for posting so many! So appropriate for Halloween.
Yes I love the work of Clarke and he did a very vast collection on Poe. And I find the Dore' Raven images to be quite interesting.
I looked but could not find any other Poe by Sandham or Tenniel
I really like the Dulacs as well
Yeah today I went to check and now I saw those reindeer pictures (I saw the real pictures before), I deleted the pictures which wouldn't link carefully.Quote:

Etienne, I knew you would sort it out and see what we were talking about. It is weird that attached to your other files. Glad you were able to fix it - looked strange with the Dulac inbetween, which no doubt was from a children's book anyway.Quote:

I wondered when you would discover Warwick Goble's work, Dark Muse. I like the fact these are from 'The Canterberry Tales' (?) - Chaucer....they are, right?
I like his color palette - nice combinations and lovely soft jewel tones. I had looked up some of his work the other day. I think I may have some in my files already, but I will definitely copy these to add. Thanks for adding them.
I think I may have poted some of Goble's work in the fairy tale group. I have heard of him before.
The last one "The Legend of Good Women" is not from the Canterberry Tales. But the others are.
That last one reminds me of one by another artist - same theme. I forget which artist it is now but it is in my files; I will look it up. Does that one illustrate any certain story?Quote:

I found it now; it is by Waterhouse - called 'The Magic Circle' - think I posted it or you did in the social group - Pre Raphaelites.Quote:

That's the one and think it is still in my Photobucket file, so I will pull that up tonight and post it. Do you think it is from a book or story though?Quote:
Originally Posted by Dark Muse

I found this to be quite interesting. It is old world love stories a collection of Medieval Romances and Legends.

I have seen his work somewhere on the net. Nice examples. I like those decorative borders - some look Celtic, some Art Deco and even Nouveau. They add something to the page, when the picture is framed with them. Nice array of images, Dark Muse. Thanks. You always come up with such neat stuff.
Yes I really like his Celtic knotwork.
I do too! I keep getting free sample pages from Dover and I copy them all into a file entitled 'Celtic'. I love how intricate they are and how they incorporate animals or mythical creatures. If you sign up on Dover Books, it is free to do so, you get a lot of great sample pages. I don't think you have to buy anything. I have bought from them in the past and just recently my friend and I went in on a big order. I got a Dulac book and another book illustrated by Maxfield Parrish. I also got two Rackham books. They had this sale - an order was 25% off - not a bad deal; even included the bargain bin, of which I chose a few good books (fiction) - two are of short stories, I think. I can't wait now for the whole box to come:D....but where I am going to put them is an altogether different another story....:(Quote:

Nice stuff, Dark Muse. I love the compositions of his work. I notice he will use one central figure (large) with contrasting (smaller) interesting details/elements or images seen far off such as people, animals, birds, landscape, etc. I love the flow and balance of his work; very elegant such as the skirts of the women. These illustrations are really lovely. I must look more of his stuff up online; I would even consider buying a book of his work. Great to discover another really fine illustrator from the past. :thumbs_upQuote:

Oww, I like those. I like the way the artist uses blacks - in a silouette manner; it is very effective they was the artist uses the blacks to accent the piece. I also like the way there is limited color fields in each of the pieces. I love how the first one is all tones of rusty reds, pinks, oranges. I like the decorative borders on each. I love the last one; I bet you also love that, Dark Muse. That is so beautiful and moody...love the moonglow...looks luminous.
Hehe yes the last one is my favorite
hehe, now how did I know that?;)Quote:
