EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Bark of Purgatory, Purgatory, Canto 2" an engraving created by the renowned artist John Flaxman. The artwork is part of a series titled "Illustrations of The Divine Poem of Dante Alighieri" which was published in 1867. Flaxman's engraving depicts a scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". In this particular canto, the protagonist finds himself aboard a mystical boat known as "The Bark of Purgatory". As he embarks on his journey through purgatory, he encounters various souls seeking redemption and purification. The image has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity and detail. It beautifully captures the essence of Flaxman's intricate engravings and brings to life the vivid imagery described in Dante's poetry. This artwork serves as a testament to both Italian literature and European artistry. It symbolizes Italy's rich cultural heritage and its contribution to world literature. The presence of the Italian flag further emphasizes this connection. As we admire this print, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within artistic expression but also of our own personal journeys towards self-discovery and spiritual growth. Just like Dante on his voyage through purgatory, we too navigate through life seeking enlightenment and redemption. Overall, this print invites us to delve into the depths of imagination while appreciating the profound influence that great works like Dante Alighieri's have had on
