Fervor and Fantasy: The Passion by Gustave Doré
Regardless of whether one sympathizes with another religion or none, the story of the Passion and death of Jesus is one of the most fascinating ever told. Perhaps no artist has conjured a darkness so intense to represent these scenes as the French painter and engraver Gustave Doré (1832-1883). His creativity and aesthetic interests serve as the center of the Fervor and Fantasy exhibition, composed of five masterpieces by Doré that illustrate different moments of the Passion of Jesus.
