EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Ms 2017 f. 245 Dantes Inferno with a commentary by Guiniforte delli Bargigi". Created on vellum around 1440 by the talented Master of the Vitae Imperatorum, this manuscript is now housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image captures our attention with its vivid depiction of Dante Alighieri's infamous journey through Hell. The artist skillfully portrays souls engulfed in flames and fire, their anguished faces reflecting their torment. The intricate details bring to life the underworld described in Dante's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". It is worth noting that this manuscript has faced some unfortunate fate as parts of it were cut out and are currently located at Imola's Biblioteca Communale. However, even with these missing folios and paintings, the remaining pages provide an invaluable glimpse into medieval Italian literature. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be drawn into the depths of hell depicted within its frames. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's fascination with themes such as sin, punishment, and redemption throughout history. This mesmerizing artwork transports us back to the 15th century when manuscripts like these were treasured possessions for those fortunate enough to own them. Today, thanks to platforms like Fine Art Finder from Bridgeman Images, we have access to these masterpieces that continue to inspire awe and captivate
