EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "Inferno". Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885, the image depicts Canto 22 of the Divine Comedy. Alichino and Calcabrina, two demonic figures, engage in a fierce struggle above the pitch-black abyss of Hell. The digitally colored engraving brings to life the intense atmosphere of this medieval masterpiece. The intricate details showcase Dore's exceptional talent as an artist. From their contorted bodies to their menacing expressions, Alichino and Calcabrina exude both power and malevolence. Dante Alighieri himself is present in this scene as well, guided through Hell by his trusted companion Virgil. As they witness this terrifying spectacle unfold before them, one can only imagine the fear and awe that must have consumed them. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Dante's literary genius but also reflects the broader themes explored within his work – sin, punishment, redemption. It transports us into a world where good and evil collide with devastating consequences. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Giancarlo Costa's private collection, we are reminded of the enduring impact that Dante Alighieri has had on literature and art throughout history.
