The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 396 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He carved hell into the cultural imagination without touching a block himself. Doré's Biblical apocalypses and Dante's torments reached more eyes than almost any art of his century - 40 engravers working in shifts to keep up with the demand.

About this person
Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré was born in France on 6 January 1832 and spent his career turning classic literature into images the masses could afford. His wood-engravings for the Vulgate Bible and Dante's Divine Comedy became international bestsellers, printed simultaneously across countries using electrotype cylinder presses. He produced over 10,000 illustrations as designer - rarely cutting the blocks himself - but critics of his era remained cool even as the public bought everything he touched. Writers like H. P. Lovecraft and Théophile Gautier admired him, and the centuries after his death on 23 January 1883 have been kinder than his own time.
