Image: Gustave Doré - Landscape in Scotland - Walters 372625
Description: As a native of Alsace in eastern France and lacking the formal training provided in Paris, Doré began his career as an illustrator and remained outside the mainstream of French painting. His dramatic landscapes, with their grand vistas and turbulent skies, reflect the Romantic movement that had prevailed in French art a generation earlier. Doré visited Scotland on a salmon-fishing expedition in 1873, and over the next eight years, he painted a number of scenes based on his sketches of the Scottish landscape. Doré is perhaps best known for his illustrated Bible (1866). This proved to be an important calling card for the artist, enabling him to open the Doré Gallery in New Bond Street, London, where this painting was probably originally exhibited.
