EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from Gustave Doré's illustration of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy". In this particular image, titled "The crust came drawn from underneath in flakes" we witness Dante and his guide, the Roman poet Virgil, encountering sinners afflicted with scabs that they incessantly scratch. These individuals are known as the falsifiers - a disease on society during their lifetime, now condemned to suffer from diseases themselves. Doré's intricate engraving skillfully portrays the agonizing torment endured by these damned souls. The scaly flakes falling off their bodies resemble fish scales scraped from bream or other mail-clad creatures. Their nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and exposes their wretched state.

It follows Dante's imaginary journey through Hell, Purgatory, and finally to Heaven where he experiences a beatific vision of God. This timeless masterpiece has been published numerous times throughout history. Gustave Doré's illustrations bring vivid life to Dante's words, capturing the essence of each scene with remarkable detail.
