His signature style, blending Romantic drama with precise craftsmanship, made him one of the most influential illustrators of the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"931\"\u003eAmong Doré’s most iconic works are his Bible illustrations, first published in 1866 in \u003cem data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"628\"\u003eLa Sainte Bible\u003c\/em\u003e. This monumental visual project included over 200 engravings that vividly brought biblical stories to life. These illustrations combined narrative clarity with deep emotional resonance and were widely translated and distributed, solidifying Doré’s status as a leading figure in sacred and literary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1441\"\u003eOne particularly moving engraving, \u003cem data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"996\"\u003eThe Descent from the Cross\u003c\/em\u003e, depicts the moment following Christ’s crucifixion, as described in the Gospels, including Mark 15:42–46. In this powerful composition, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and other followers gently lower Jesus’s lifeless body from the cross, while Mary, John, and others mourn in sorrow. Doré uses striking contrasts of light and shadow to heighten the scene’s solemnity and tenderness, creating a lasting visual impression of reverence and grief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Historicalimages","offers":[{"title":"27x35 cm \/ 11x14″ \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056425809,"sku":"96122047-0428-4aa5-b126-71521bcc9cf0","price":26.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27x35 cm \/ 11x14″ \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056458577,"sku":"477ec7ed-cf54-4267-838c-faa2e4bab8f3","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x40 cm \/ 12x16″ \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056491345,"sku":"463c56f6-5f27-435c-b0ec-9005d15cac3c","price":46.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x40 cm \/ 12x16″ \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056524113,"sku":"c1548bfd-c842-4e10-a57a-8c738d31ee36","price":32.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45x60 cm \/ 18x24″ \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056556881,"sku":"ab60605b-4c1d-4480-b7cb-ac3aea75518b","price":39.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45x60 cm \/ 18x24″ \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056589649,"sku":"51b12268-ffbe-4351-a6bf-11e77f4ac844","price":53.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm \/ 20x28″ \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056622417,"sku":"1cb50099-a3bd-4ef3-862f-51f98ae5e4ac","price":44.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm \/ 20x28″ \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056655185,"sku":"b2b5e9aa-d724-429c-8f2b-aa7536f44cf5","price":54.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60x80 cm \/ 24x32″ \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056687953,"sku":"8831a791-3cfb-4bef-850a-3ba8504dc3a5","price":56.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60x80 cm \/ 24x32″ \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056720721,"sku":"2397f9af-19b0-4e01-8807-f62cd6f8f60b","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75x100 cm \/ 30x40″ \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056753489,"sku":"621238ed-20ac-4a2d-89ed-b3c246a7f0c9","price":69.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75x100 cm \/ 30x40″ \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056786257,"sku":"1e16e4fb-9a5a-4746-a4ad-e5d7abe505b0","price":62.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9  cm) \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056819025,"sku":"1da3a3aa-51ea-4361-8e0c-884cfe6722d4","price":69.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9  cm) \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056851793,"sku":"53f72ea8-a85a-46a9-82f5-63c52315268e","price":64.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056884561,"sku":"fd2c8707-c576-47e6-9273-f7d58a89711c","price":69.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056917329,"sku":"0f75d9bc-bcfd-4814-864e-742b0da2a223","price":59.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034056950097,"sku":"c2b9ec7a-7781-4b0c-ab4d-a91efa2f6e41","price":52.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034056982865,"sku":"501fcf41-8163-4753-8e75-3cdbda7e3df2","price":51.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Fine Art Poster","offer_id":51034057015633,"sku":"090726d2-fffc-40e0-bed5-6642c1000605","price":46.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Premium Matte Paper Poster","offer_id":51034057048401,"sku":"d91419db-b284-4255-ae48-c2d6084ec93d","price":47.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/4048\/9809\/files\/7b3b1b44-6234-4d0e-a49e-8b13a57f8978_d2dd68da-1b7b-45e8-a107-89669a8f2230.jpg?v=1778899615","url":"https:\/\/historicalimages.com\/products\/gustave-dore-the-bible-engraving-print-the-descent-from-the-cross-after-crucifixion-illustration","provider":"Historicalimages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
