EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from Purgatorio, Canto 5 of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, the image depicts Dante engaging in conversation with Pia de Tolomei amidst a mystical forest. The scene is set within the realm of purgatory, where souls undergo purification before ascending to heaven. In this enchanting medieval setting, a majestic tree trunk serves as their meeting place. Its ancient branches reach towards the heavens while providing shelter for their profound exchange. Dante Alighieri himself stands tall and resolute, his presence exuding wisdom and curiosity. He engages with Pia de Tolomei, an Italian noblewoman whose tragic fate has brought her to this spiritual realm. Her delicate yet expressive features convey both vulnerability and strength as she shares her story with Dante. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we are transported back to the 14th century—a time when literature flourished alongside artistry. This print not only showcases Dore's exceptional talent but also pays homage to Dante's enduring legacy as one of Italy's greatest poets. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the power of storytelling and its ability to transcend time and space. It invites us into a world where imagination intertwines with reality—an eternal reminder that beauty can be found even in the depths of purgatory.
