The Circle of Corrupt Officials - The Devils Tormenting Ciampolo, from Dante's Inferno
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by William Blake, we are transported to the depths of hell as described in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". The scene depicts a chilling moment from Canto XXII of the Inferno, where corrupt officials are tormented by winged devils. Blake masterfully captures the essence of despair and eternal suffering. In the center stands Ciampolo, a condemned soul stripped naked both physically and metaphorically. His skin is being mercilessly flayed by demonic figures with twisted expressions on their faces. Their wings symbolize their otherworldly existence as they revel in inflicting pain upon these damned souls. The artist skillfully portrays the concept of corruption that plagued society during his time. Through this haunting image, Blake reminds us of the consequences faced by those who abuse their power for personal gain. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect on themes such as justice, morality, and accountability. It serves as a stark reminder that actions have lasting consequences even beyond death. Displayed at The Met Museum among other heritage art pieces, this engraving continues to captivate audiences with its powerful imagery and profound message. It serves as an enduring testament to Blake's artistic genius and his ability to bring literary works to life through visual storytelling.
