Framed Print of Dantes Inferno, Charon on the Styx
Dantes Inferno. Canto III, lines 76-78: [over the Styx came Charon] an old man Crying, Woe to you wicked spirits! Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) wrote his epic poem Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) between 1308 and his death in 1321. Totalling 14, 233 lines, and divided into three parts (Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso), it is considered the greatest literary work in the Italian language and a world masterpiece. It is a comprehensive survey of medieval theology, literature and thought. Artwork by French artist Gustave Dore (1832-1883); engraving from The Vision of Hell (1868), Henry Francis Carys English translation of the Inferno. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © MIDDLE TEMPLE LIBRARY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
