EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Flaxman's engraving of "The Bridge, Inferno, Canto 21" from his renowned series of illustrations for Dante Alighieri's Divine Poem. The artwork is a testament to Flaxman's exceptional talent and his ability to bring Dante's vivid imagery to life. In this particular scene, we are transported into the depths of Hell as described in Dante's Inferno. The bridge serves as a symbolic gateway between different realms, representing the transition from one circle of Hell to another. Flaxman masterfully captures the intensity and drama of this moment through his meticulous engravings. The influence of expressionism can be seen in Flaxman's work, with its bold lines and dynamic composition. This art movement emerged in Europe during the early 20th century and aimed to convey emotional depth and subjective experiences through visual representation. Flaxman's interpretation of Dante's poem not only reflects his artistic prowess but also pays homage to Italian culture and literature. It reminds us of Italy’s rich heritage in poetry and its contribution to world literature. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and language barriers. It allows us to appreciate the beauty found within different cultures while connecting us on a universal level through shared emotions and experiences.
