EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Forthwith that image vile of fraud appeared" is a remarkable creation by the talented artist Gustave Doré. The print depicts a powerful scene from Dante Alighieri's renowned literary masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy". In this particular moment, Dante and his guide, the Roman poet Virgil, come face to face with a fearsome monster known for its deadly sting. Doré's intricate engraving skillfully captures the intensity and terror of this encounter. The monstrous creature with its wings spread wide exudes an aura of malevolence as smoke billows around it. Its presence symbolizes fraud and deceit - one of the many sins explored in Dante's epic poem. "The Divine Comedy" takes readers on an imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Written between 1308-1321 in Italian by Dante Alighieri himself, this narrative poem has become an enduring classic that has been published countless times over the centuries. Gustave Doré's illustrations have played a significant role in bringing Dante's vivid imagery to life for generations of readers. This particular edition was published in the late 19th century by Cassell Petter & Galpin. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of both Doré's artistic brilliance and Dante Alighieri's profound exploration of human nature and spirituality. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature to transport us into realms beyond our imagination.
