EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's digitally colored engraving of "Purgatorio, Canto 15: Dante's vision of the stoning of Stephen (saint Etienne)" from The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Created in 1885, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in Italian literature and history. Dante Alighieri, the renowned Italian author and poet, takes us on a journey through his Divina Commedia. In this particular canto, we witness Dante's vivid imagination as he envisions the stoning of Saint Stephen within the realm of Purgatory. The detailed illustration brings to life the intensity and drama surrounding this event. The medieval setting transports us back to the 14th century, where religion played a significant role in society. Through Dore's masterful engraving technique, we can feel the weight of religious devotion and its impact on individuals during that time. The composition beautifully combines elements of poetry and visual artistry. It highlights both literary symbolism and historical context while showcasing Dore's exceptional talent for capturing emotion through his engravings. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Giancarlo Costa's private collection, it serves as a reminder not only of Dante Alighieri's genius but also how art has the power to transcend time and bring stories to life centuries later.
