EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Inferno, Canto 1: The lion suddenly confronts Dante" transports us into the depths of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored to enhance its visual impact, this engraving captures a pivotal moment in the narrative. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the imposing figure of a majestic lion standing before Dante. With its tawny mane flowing and muscles rippling with power, it exudes an aura of both regality and danger. This encounter symbolizes the challenges that await Dante on his journey through Hell. The backdrop reveals a hauntingly beautiful scene from medieval Italy – a gnarled tree trunk stands as if witness to centuries of suffering and torment. It serves as a reminder that this is no ordinary forest; it is part of the infernal realm where lost souls dwell. Dante himself appears small yet resolute amidst this otherworldly landscape. Clutching his book tightly and wearing an expression filled with determination, he embodies everyman's quest for salvation and understanding. Giancarlo Costa's expert curation brings forth not only Dore's artistic brilliance but also highlights Dante Alighieri's enduring literary legacy. Through this print, we are invited to delve deeper into one man's exploration of sin, redemption, and divine justice – themes that continue to resonate across time. Whether you are an admirer of fine art or an avid reader seeking inspiration from great literature, this remarkable print offers a window into both worlds - inviting contemplation on life’s profound questions while celebrating artistic mastery at its finest.
