The Raven Pl.11
1884
Gustave Doré brings Edgar Allan Poe's spooky poem to life with this incredibly moody scene. A lone raven perches ominously on a shuttered window, casting a long, dramatic shadow down the weathered, vine-covered wall below. It perfectly captures the gloomy, gothic atmosphere of the poem, making you feel like something mysterious is about to happen. Doré was the master of illustration in the 19th century, and his work on 'The Raven' in 1884 is a perfect example of his dramatic, romantic style that influenced countless horror movies and books.
