EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from "Inferno, Canto 12: Nessus (Nessos) and the centaurs" taken from Gustave Dore's renowned work, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Created in 1885, this digitally colored engraving brings to life a mesmerizing scene filled with mythical creatures and medieval elements. The image transports us into the depths of hell as described by Dante in his epic poem. In the foreground stands Nessus, a fearsome centaur known for his role in Greek mythology. With his muscular human torso and powerful horse body, he exudes strength and authority. Surrounding him are other centaurs, their equine bodies contrasting sharply with their human upper halves. Dore's intricate details bring out the essence of this fictional character from the 14th century. The artist skillfully captures every nuance of expression on each figure's face while expertly rendering their flowing manes and tails. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece, we are reminded of Dante Alighieri himself – an Italian author and poet who penned Divina Commedia during the late Middle Ages. This timeless literary work continues to captivate readers even today. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we witness a fusion of art forms that seamlessly blend literature with visual representation. This enchanting print not only celebrates Dore's mastery but also pays homage to centuries-old mythologies that continue to inspire our imagination.
