EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "Inferno" specifically Canto 21. Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, it depicts the torment of the barrators by devils. The Divine Comedy is a masterpiece that explores the journey of the soul through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In this image, we witness the chilling punishment inflicted upon those who engaged in corrupt practices during their earthly lives. The devils are depicted as menacing creatures, reveling in sadistic pleasure as they torture the barrators. Their grotesque forms and fiery surroundings evoke an atmosphere of terror and despair. Dante Alighieri was an influential Italian poet whose work continues to resonate with readers today. His vivid descriptions and allegorical storytelling make "The Divine Comedy" a timeless classic that delves into themes of sin, redemption, and divine justice. Giancarlo Costa's expertly captured photograph showcases not only Dore's intricate engraving but also highlights the enduring power of Dante's words. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both good and evil while emphasizing the consequences faced by those who succumb to temptation. This remarkable piece transports us to another realm where morality is laid bare amidst haunting imagery. It invites contemplation on our own actions and choices while marveling at the artistic genius behind this iconic illustration from one of history's greatest literary works.
