EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1870, titled "Lombardo in the Third Circle of Purgatory" we are transported into the depths of Dante's Inferno. The artist, Gustave Doré, masterfully brings to life the vivid imagery described by the Italian poet. As our eyes explore the intricate lines and shadows etched onto paper, we witness Lombardo's descent into a realm of evil and torment. Surrounded by flames and engulfed in darkness, he finds himself trapped within the Third Circle of Purgatory. Here, sinners are punished for their gluttony as they lie helpless on a desolate landscape. Doré's attention to detail is truly remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of despair and suffering. We can almost feel Lombardo's anguish as he falls towards his inevitable fate. Yet amidst this grim scene, there is a glimmer of hope – an angelic figure hovers above him, offering guidance towards redemption. This engraving serves not only as a visual representation of Dante's work but also delves deeper into themes such as religion and purity. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always a chance for salvation. "The Dore Gallery" remains an iconic collection showcasing Doré's unparalleled talent in bringing literature to life through art. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and continues to captivate viewers with its powerful portrayal of humanity's struggle between good and evil.
