"For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore" is an illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his series of engravings for Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem "The Raven." Published in 1845, Poe's poem tells the story of a grieving man who is visited by a mysterious raven, a harbinger of despair and unending sorrow, on a bleak December night. The line "For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore" refers to the narrator's lost love, whose memory haunts him throughout the poem.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific and influential illustrator, painter, and sculptor known for his imaginative and often dramatic interpretations of scenes from literature, mythology, and the Bible. His work on "The Raven" was part of an 1884 edition that featured 26 engravings, which have since become iconic representations of Poe's haunting verse. Doré's illustrations are celebrated for their intricate detail, emotional depth, and gothic atmosphere, which perfectly complement Poe's dark and melancholic tone.

Doré's illustration for this particular line captures the ethereal beauty of Lenore, embodying the poem's themes of love, loss, and longing. The artwork typically depicts Lenore as an idealized figure, often surrounded by angelic or otherworldly imagery, emphasizing her untouchable and saintly nature in the eyes of the bereaved narrator. Doré's ability to visualize the poem's complex emotions has contributed to the enduring legacy of both Poe's words and Doré's art, making this illustration a significant work in the canon of literary illustration.

The engravings for "The Raven" were among the last projects Doré completed before his death, and they stand as a testament to his masterful artistry and his contribution to the visual interpretation of literary classics. The collaboration between Poe's evocative poetry and Doré's visionary art remains a celebrated union of two creative giants, each enhancing the other's work and leaving a lasting impact on the arts.
