About this Item

In Fran?ois-Ren? de Chateaubriand's novel "Atala," the campfire scene featuring Atala and Chactas encapsulates the depth of their bond amidst the untamed wilderness. As the crackling flames illuminate their surroundings, Atala and Chactas find themselves immersed in an intimate exchange, where they share their innermost thoughts and feelings. Against the backdrop of their forbidden love and the challenges they face, the campfire serves as a refugeła place where they can freely express their emotions and find solace in each other's presence. This poignant moment highlights the profound connection between Atala and Chactas, transcending cultural barriers and societal conventions, as they navigate the complexities of their relationship amid the vast expanse of the American wilderness. Artist: Gustave Dore . Print Size: 9 3/4 ins x 7 3/4 ins Overall Size: 12 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins. 1870 Wood Engraving after the painting of Gustave Dore. Paul Gustave Dore (1832-1883), famous French illustrator, engraver, painter, and sculptor. He is best known for his highly imaginative and dramatic illustrations. At first he did his own engraving on wood, but as his success grew, his later work was done in collaboration with numerous engravers. His lively illustrations for some 120 books, including Paradise Lost, the Divine Comedy (1861), Don Quixote (1862), the Bible (1866), Balzac's Droll Tales, the works of Rabelais, the Fables of La Fontaine, and other classics, are still admired. He particularly excelled in weird, fantastic scenes. Less popular today are his works in painting and sculpture. This quality engraving originates from an 1870 art publication with a collection of plates, giving some idea of the variety as well as the power of Dore's genius.
