Dantes Inferno, suicides and the Harpies

Dantes Inferno. Canto XIII, line 11: Here [suicide tree] the brute Harpies make their nest (at right: Dante and Virgil). Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) wrote his epic poem Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) between 1308 and his death in 1321. Totalling 14, 233 lines, and divided into three parts (Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso), it is considered the greatest literary work in the Italian language and a world masterpiece. It is a comprehensive survey of medieval theology, literature and thought. Artwork by French artist Gustave Dore (1832-1883); engraving from The Vision of Hell (1868), Henry Francis Carys English translation of the Inferno

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful scene from Dante Alighieri's renowned epic poem, "Dante's Inferno". Depicting the middle ring of Hell, Canto XIII explores the haunting realm of suicides and their torment at the hands of brutal Harpies. The Italian poet penned his magnum opus, Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy), between 1308 and 1321, leaving an indelible mark on world literature. Gustave Dore, a talented French artist from the 19th century, brings this vivid imagery to life through his intricate engraving featured in Henry Francis Cary's English translation of Inferno. With meticulous attention to detail, Dore captures Dante and Virgil standing amidst the eerie landscape as they witness the grotesque nesting place of these winged spirits. As one delves into this masterpiece spanning over 14,000 lines divided into three parts – Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso – it becomes evident that Dante's work is not only a poetic marvel but also a comprehensive exploration of medieval theology and thought. This artwork serves as a visual representation of his allegorical journey through Hell while shedding light on historical and cultural aspects prevalent during the Romanesque period. Through this mesmerizing print offered by Middle Temple Library/Science Photo Library, viewers are transported back in time to experience Dante's infernal vision firsthand. It stands as a testament to both literary greatness and artistic prowess while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with exploring profound themes such as violence, redemption, and spirituality within our collective consciousness.
