About This Novel
"I'm so sorry, I only drew 100,000 sketches in 33 years." What are you talking about? Who said that? According to the tone, it should be said by Gustave Doré (1832-1883) himself, but there is no indication. You can count this number over and over again, you are right, six digits, it is one hundred thousand! Is that an exaggeration? But at the beginning of 2014, when Gustave Doré's paintings were exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay, the pictorial published by the exhibition had this sentence printed in extra-large font on the inside page of the cover. Other newspapers and magazines rushed to quote it. These days, the media likes to sensationalize things, just because they're afraid it's not hot enough. The important thing is to surprise people. Who is going to accuse the lie of art? And these sketches are just pencil drawings, sketches for copperplate or woodblock production. He also painted oil paintings, watercolors, and created sculptures. How many thousands are they? After you saw the exhibition, you dived into his albums and information.
