EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dante and Virgil in Inferno, crossing the cocytus" transports viewers into the depths of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885, this print beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Canto 32 of Inferno. In this chilling scene, Dante and his guide Virgil navigate through Cocytus, a frozen lake that serves as punishment for traitors. The figures depicted are frozen within the ice, their souls forever trapped in eternal suffering. As they traverse this desolate landscape, the viewer can almost feel the biting cold seeping through their bones. The attention to detail is remarkable; every figure conveys despair and anguish as they endure their divine retribution. Dore's mastery of light and shadow adds depth to each character's torment while emphasizing the vastness of this icy realm. This engraving not only showcases Dore's artistic skill but also pays homage to Dante Alighieri's literary masterpiece. It serves as a visual representation of one man's journey through Hell and offers a glimpse into the intricate world created by an Italian poet over seven centuries ago. Stefano Bianchetti has expertly captured this iconic moment from The Divine Comedy with his meticulous reproduction. This print stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance—a true treasure for any lover of literature or fine art enthusiast alike.
