EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Christmas Eve" by Gustave Dore takes us on a magical journey through the enchanting streets of Paris. With watercolor and gouache on paper, Dore skillfully captures the essence of this festive night. The scene is set with a starry sky illuminating the cityscape, as an angel gracefully descends from above, delivering presents to eager children below. The rooftops are adorned with snow, creating a picturesque winter wonderland. Chimneys act as gateways for the angel's delivery route, symbolizing the timeless tradition of Santa Claus sliding down chimneys to leave gifts behind. The bustling city below adds an element of excitement and anticipation to this joyous occasion. Dore's attention to detail brings each element to life - from the delicate wings of the fairy-like angel to the carefully wrapped presents she carries in her arms. This artwork evokes feelings of warmth and happiness associated with Christmas celebrations. Displayed at Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Dore's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both realism and fantasy within one composition. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be transported into a world where dreams come true on Christmas Eve.
