EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist from the 19th century. Created in 1870 as an engraving for Dante Alighieri's Purgatorio or Purgatory, this artwork showcases Doré's exceptional illustrative technique and his deep understanding of human emotions. In this powerful image, we witness the weighty consequences of excessive pride. The central figure, burdened by their own arrogance and hubris, struggles to bear the heavy load on their back. Their face reflects both physical strain and emotional turmoil, conveying the torment that accompanies unchecked vanity. Doré's use of color adds depth and intensity to the scene. The vibrant hues evoke a sense of passion while simultaneously highlighting the darkness that surrounds our protagonist. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that pride can blind us to our true selves and lead us down treacherous paths. As a representative work of Romanticism, "The Burden of Pride" captures not only individual struggle but also universal themes relevant across time periods. Its retro style transports viewers back to the Victorian era when such engravings were highly valued for their artistic merit and storytelling abilities. This vintage print from Arkheia offers us a glimpse into historic artistry at its finest—a testament to Gustave Doré's enduring legacy as an influential artist who continues to inspire generations with his masterful creations.
