"A Stately Raven of the Saintly Days of Yore" is an illustration by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his visual interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem "The Raven." Published in 1845, Poe's narrative poem tells the story of a grieving man who is visited by a talking raven, symbolizing his descent into madness. Doré's illustration, which was part of an 1884 edition of the poem, captures the haunting atmosphere and the central themes of loss and despair.

In the illustration, Doré employs his characteristic attention to detail and mastery of light and shadow to evoke the eerie and melancholic mood of the poem. The artwork features the raven perched upon a bust of Pallas Athena, representing wisdom, overlooking the protagonist who is lost in contemplation and sorrow. The intricate lines and dramatic contrasts in the piece highlight the psychological tension and the supernatural elements that are central to Poe's work.

Gustave Doré was known for his prolific output and his ability to enhance the literary works he illustrated with his vivid imagination and technical skill. His illustrations for "The Raven" are among the most famous visual interpretations of Poe's poetry and have contributed significantly to the cultural legacy of the poem. Doré's work on "The Raven" is often celebrated for its ability to visually communicate the poem's gothic and somber tone, making it a lasting part of the iconography associated with Edgar Allan Poe's oeuvre.
