EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Foreses Elevation, Purgatory, Canto 23" by the renowned artist John Flaxman. The artwork is part of a series called "Illustrations of The Divine Poem of Dante Alighieri" published in 1867. Flaxman's interpretation beautifully captures a moment from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". In this particular scene, we find ourselves in the depths of Purgatory as described in Canto 23. The meticulous details and digital cleaning bring out the essence and intensity of Flaxman's work. The image depicts Foreses Elevation, a significant location within Purgatory where souls undergo purification before ascending to Heaven. It exudes an air of mystery and spirituality that transports viewers into Dante's imaginative world. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Italy's rich literary heritage but also its profound influence on European culture. Dante Alighieri remains one of Italy's most celebrated poets whose works continue to inspire generations worldwide. With its subtle nod to Italian history through symbols like the Italian flag and references to Europe and the European Union, this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of both Dante Alighieri and John Flaxman. It invites us to delve deeper into their artistic visions while appreciating their contributions to literature and visual arts alike.
