EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". Illustrated by the renowned Gustave Dore, this image depicts Dante and the Roman poet Virgil emerging from Hell to witness the dawn on Easter Sunday morning. In this powerful scene, we see the two literary figures standing at the threshold of darkness, ready to return to the fair world. The intricate details of their expressions convey a mix of relief, awe, and anticipation as they gaze upon the first rays of sunlight breaking through. It symbolizes hope and rebirth after enduring unimaginable horrors in Hell. Dante's "The Divine Comedy" is a masterpiece that takes readers on an imaginary journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Written between 1308-1321 in Italian, it explores themes of redemption, spirituality, and human nature.

As we admire this stunning print by Cassell Petter & Galpin from c1890s. , we are reminded of both Dante Alighieri's profound literary contribution and Gustave Dore's artistic brilliance.
