EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Paradiso, Canto 12: The rings of glorified souls in the sun" is a stunning illustration from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Dante's vision. The image transports us to a heavenly realm where we witness an awe-inspiring sight. Within the radiant glow of the sun, we see concentric rings filled with glorified souls. These ethereal beings are bathed in celestial light as they float weightlessly amidst clouds and divine splendor. Dante Alighieri himself stands at the forefront of this mystical scene, guiding our gaze towards these blessed souls who have attained eternal bliss. Each ring represents a different level or sphere within paradise, symbolizing their spiritual journey towards enlightenment. Giancarlo Costa's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Dore's original artwork. From the delicate shading to the meticulous linework, it is evident that both artists were deeply inspired by Dante's profound words. As we contemplate this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the enduring power and beauty found within literature and art. It serves as a testament to humanity's quest for meaning and transcendence throughout history. Whether you are familiar with Dante Alighieri's work or simply drawn to its visual allure, this print invites you on a contemplative journey through realms beyond imagination – an invitation not easily declined.
