EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". Illustrated by Gustave Dore for the French edition of 1861, it depicts the meeting between Dante and Virgil with Lucifer, the fallen angel and King of Hell. In this engraving, we see Dante and Virgil standing before a colossal figure with bat-like wings and three grotesque faces. Lucifer towers over them as he beats his massive wings, creating an eerie atmosphere that sends chills down your spine. The intricate details in Dore's illustration bring this otherworldly encounter to life. The caption accompanying the image quotes from Canto 34 of "The Divine Comedy" where Virgil encourages Dante to gather his courage in this treacherous realm: "Voila, Dite. . . here is the place where you must arm yourself with courage". These words perfectly capture the intensity of their journey through Hell. Patrice Cartier's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of Dore's masterpiece. The composition draws our attention to the central figures while also highlighting the haunting landscape surrounding them. Whether you are a fan of literature or simply appreciate fine art, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against darkness and our constant need for bravery in confronting our fears.
