EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Gustave Dore, we witness a pivotal moment in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Titled "Virgil shows the tree to Dante" the image transports us to Canto XXIV of the poem, where Virgil acts as Dante's guide through the treacherous journey of purgatory. As our eyes explore the print, we see Virgil pointing towards a majestic tree that stands tall and proud in a mystical valley. With an air of wisdom and authority, he enlightens Dante about its significance. Surrounding them are souls who have found themselves trapped in this valley of sin, their hands reaching out towards the leaves with childlike curiosity and hope. Dore masterfully captures both the awe-inspiring beauty of nature and the profound emotions experienced by those on their spiritual quest for redemption. Through his intricate engravings, he brings to life Dante's vivid descriptions from The Divine Comedy. This artwork serves as a visual representation of guidance and enlightenment amidst darkness. It reminds us that even in our lowest moments, there is always someone or something that can lead us towards salvation. Just like Dante relied on Virgil as his cicerone (guide), we too should seek guidance when navigating through life's challenges. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Prismatic Pictures' private collection so that viewers can delve into its rich symbolism and immerse themselves in one of literature's greatest works - The Divine Comedy by Dante Aligh
