Reproductie van Le Ravin door Gustave Doré c. 1874 - 1879

This is a reproduction of a drawing by Gustave Doré, titled "Le Ravin". It was created by Charles Michelez, a French photographer who specialized in reproducing artworks. Michelez's reproduction captures the dramatic detail and chiaroscuro of Doré's original, showcasing a dense, shadowy forest landscape. The image was likely part of a book or portfolio of reproductions, which would have allowed a wider audience to appreciate Doré's work. "Le Ravin" is a testament to the collaborative nature of 19th-century art, where photographers played a crucial role in disseminating artistic ideas.
