EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic duo of Virgil and Dante, immortalized in Gustave Dore's illustration from "The Divine Comedy" (Inferno) by Dante Alighieri. Published in 1885, this engraving captures the essence of their journey through the depths of hell. Virgil, a renowned Roman poet from 70-19 BC, guides Dante through the treacherous ninth circle of hell. The intense punishment inflicted upon sinners is vividly depicted as they march in a haunting procession towards their damnation. Dante Alighieri himself, an esteemed Italian writer from 1265-1321, stands alongside his guide with a resolute expression on his face. As the author of "The Divine Comedy" he masterfully weaves together intricate layers of symbolism and allegory to explore humanity's moral choices and consequences. This powerful image not only pays homage to these literary giants but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact of their works. It reminds us that even centuries later, their words continue to captivate readers worldwide. Displayed within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print offers a glimpse into an artistic masterpiece that has transcended time and cultural boundaries. Its presence evokes curiosity about literature's ability to transport us beyond our own reality and confront profound questions about human nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of the eternal power
