Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Great Pictures by Gustave Doré and Edwin Long, R. An., On View at 35, New Bond Street, London Wonderful as is the anatomical knowledge manifested by M. Doré yet he never over-accentuates nor introduces muscle for the mere purpose of displaying his study. In his fore-shortening, which seems carried out by a magical rapidity almost intuitive, the painter emulates the tours de force of Sebastiano del Piombo, or the dazzling audacity of Luca Giordano.
