EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Inferno, Canto 7: Virgil shows Dante the souls of the wrathful in the Styx" takes us on a visual journey through Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, this engraving brings to life one of the most dramatic scenes from Inferno. The image depicts Dante and his guide Virgil standing at the edge of the Styx, a river that symbolizes anger and wrath. As they gaze upon its turbulent waters, they witness countless tormented souls submerged in its depths. The artist masterfully captures their anguish and despair as they writhe in eternal punishment for their sins. Dante's expression reflects a mix of awe and horror as he witnesses this haunting spectacle. Meanwhile, Virgil stands beside him with an air of authority and wisdom, guiding him through this infernal realm. The attention to detail is remarkable; every figure conveys intense emotion while maintaining a sense of realism. The engraving beautifully portrays both physical torment and spiritual suffering. Through this powerful artwork, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for rage and its consequences. It serves as a reminder to reflect on our own emotions before succumbing to wrathful impulses. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured the essence of Dante's timeless work with his interpretation here. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as an invitation to explore deeper themes within The Divine Comedy itself.
