EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Yet in the abyss, that Lucifer with Judas low ingulfs, lightly he placed us" transports us to the depths of Dante Alighieri's Inferno. Illustrated by Gustave Dore in the late 19th century, this image is a powerful depiction of Antaeus, the giant from Greek mythology, lowering Dante and Virgil to the final level of Hell. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life Dante's vivid imagination as he embarks on his mythical journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The bearded figures of Dante and Virgil stand out against the dark background as they are gently guided downward by Antaeus. Their nakedness symbolizes their vulnerability in this treacherous realm. Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" is a monumental literary work written between 1308-1321. It narrates an allegorical tale of one man's quest for salvation and enlightenment. This particular edition published in the late 19th century showcases Gustave Dore's masterful illustrations that enhance our understanding and appreciation of Dante's epic poem. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless power of literature and art to transport us into otherworldly realms. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with exploring profound themes such as sin, redemption, and divine revelation.
