Dino Cavallari was forced by ill health to abandon other art forms in favour of painting by ill health. As well as painting he illustrated many books following an initial collaboration with Herbert Mason for his book Gilgamesh. Cavallari also illustrated books for Jean Cocteau, Sacha Guitry, Paul Vaillant, and Jean Larteguy, as well as the cover paintings and the 15 drawings for the 1989 book Rambouillet Au Debut du XX Siecle, and otherdrawings for corporate and municipal commissions. He illustrated the legend of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus from both the Qur’an and The Legenda Aurea of Jacobus di Voragine; depictions of Islam’s Whirling Dervishes and Muhammad’s receiving the visitation of the Angel Gabriel; and several cruciforms of Christ. These and others led to, and culminated in, the achievement of 170 illustrations of the Bible, completed in 2004.
