EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". In this scene from Inferno, Canto 8, the renowned artist Gustave Dore brings to life Phlegyas (Phlegias), the ferryman of the river Styx. With his masterful use of digitally colored engraving, Dore transports us into the depths of Hell alongside Dante and Virgil. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we witness Phlegyas guiding our protagonists across the treacherous waters of the Styx. The boat they travel in is a humble rowboat, evoking a sense of vulnerability amidst their perilous journey through damnation. Dante Alighieri himself stands tall and resolute at the front of the boat while his guide Virgil watches over him with wisdom and guidance. Their expressions reveal both determination and apprehension as they navigate this infernal realm. The intricate details within this print showcase Dore's mastery as an artist. From the swirling currents beneath them to the haunting landscape that surrounds them, every element contributes to creating an atmosphere filled with despair and anguish. Through Giancarlo Costa's expert curation, we are granted access to a private collection where this remarkable piece resides. It serves as a testament to both Dante Alighieri's enduring legacy and Gustave Dore's artistic brilliance. Inferno Canto 8: Phlegyas ferries Dante and Virgil across the Styx is not just an illustration; it is an invitation for us to delve deeper into one man's imaginative journey through Hell itself.
