EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, this engraving brings to life the haunting atmosphere of Dante's Inferno. The image depicts a desolate landscape engulfed in darkness as night falls upon the medieval world. A gnarled tree trunk stands tall against the starry sky, symbolizing both strength and decay.
