EDITORS COMMENTS
The Guide, who marked how I did gaze attentive, thus began: 'Within these ardours are the spirits, each swathed in confining fire', c1890. This print captures a powerful moment from Gustave Doré's illustration of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, 'The Divine Comedy'. In this scene from 'Inferno', Dante and his guide Virgil bear witness to the eternal punishment of false counsellors. Doré's intricate engraving transports us to the depths of Hell as we observe the burning souls trapped within fiery confines. The intensity of their torment is palpable in every brushstroke. Through his masterful use of black and white, Doré creates a haunting atmosphere that reflects both the anguish and deceit depicted in Dante's words. 'The Divine Comedy' is a literary masterpiece that takes readers on an imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Published numerous times since its completion in 1321, this particular edition showcases Doré's exceptional artistic talent alongside Alighieri's poetic genius. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the enduring power of literature and art to transport us to other worlds. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with themes such as punishment, deception, and redemption throughout history. This remarkable print by Gustave Doré invites us to explore the depths of human nature while contemplating our own actions and choices. It stands as a timeless reminder that truth will always prevail over deceit.
