DRAWING_MAKING JOURNEYS

Konstanz to Jerusalem_ Konrad von Grünenberg,1487
I love how so much emphasis in much medieval art was placed on imagination rather than accuracy, and yet there’s such a compact, concise “feeling” of each city. Long before you pick out the different details, you get a clear sense of place.Beautiful and inspiring. Book on line


Gustave Doré_1832-1883
French artist, engraver, sculptor and illustrator. In these pictures: The lustful are blasted by the tempest, The empyrean (The divine comedy of Dante) and the last Don Quijote.
