EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's engraving of "The Divine Comedy, Paradiso, Canto 31: The saintly throng form a rose in the empyrean". In this mesmerizing artwork, Dante Alighieri and his guide Beatrice are depicted gazing upon a celestial scene. As they enter the highest level of heaven, known as the Empyrean, they witness an awe-inspiring sight. Before their eyes lies a magnificent snow white rose formed by a multitude of saintly figures. These souls, symbolizing divine love and seated in the Tenth Sphere of Heaven, create an ethereal spectacle that is both breathtaking and profound. The delicate pink hues of the rose contrast beautifully with the surrounding clouds and illuminate the entire scene. Gustave Dore masterfully captures this moment from Dante's epic poem, illustrating not only its visual splendor but also its spiritual significance.
