  Doré was born in  Strasbourg  on 6 January 1832. By age 5 he was a prodigy artist, creating drawings that were mature beyond his years. Seven years later, he began carving in stone. [ citation needed ]  At the age of 15, Doré began his career working as a caricaturist for the French paper  Le journal pour rire . [2]  Wood-engraving was his primary method at this time. [3]  In the late 1840s and early 1850s, he made several  text comics , like  Les Travaux d'Hercule  (1847),  Trois artistes incompris et mécontents  (1851),  Les Dés-agréments d'un voyage d'agrément  (1851) and  L'Histoire de la Sainte Russie  (1854). Doré subsequently went on to win commissions to depict scenes from books by  Cervantes ,  Rabelais ,  Balzac ,  Milton , and  Dante .

  His credits include Richard Linklater's animated adaptation of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly, and the critically acclaimed 2015 reboot of classic adventure game King's Quest, along with a growing catalog of covers and anthology collections for Dark Horse, Boom!

Joseph Christian Leyendecker  (March 23, 1874 – July 25, 1951) was a German-American illustrator. He is considered to be one of the preeminent American illustrators of the early 20th century. He is best known for his poster, book and advertising illustrations, the trade character known as  The Arrow Collar Man , and his numerous covers for  The Saturday Evening Post . [1] [2]  Between 1896 and 1950, Leyendecker painted more than 400 magazine covers. During the Golden Age of American Illustration, for  The Saturday Evening Post  alone, J. C. Leyendecker produced 322 covers, as well as many advertisement illustrations for its interior pages. No other artist, until the arrival of  Norman Rockwell  two decades later, was so solidly identified with one publication. [3]  Leyendecker "virtually invented the whole idea of modern magazine design." [4]

Maxfield Parrish  (July 25, 1870 – March 30, 1966) was an American painter and  illustrator  active in the first half of the 20th century. He is known for his distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery. His career spanned fifty years and was wildly successful: his painting  Daybreak  (1922) is the most popular art print of the 20th century. [1]

John Martin  (19 July 1789 – 17 February 1854) [1]  was an English  Romantic  painter, engraver and illustrator. He was celebrated for his typically vast and melodramatic paintings of religious subjects and  fantastic  compositions, populated with minute figures placed in imposing landscapes. Martin's paintings, and the prints made from them, enjoyed great success with the general public—in 1821  Thomas Lawrence  referred to him as "the most popular painter of his day"—but were lambasted by  John Ruskin  and other critics.
