EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by Gustave Doré in c1890. The image depicts Dante and the Roman poet Virgil from Dante Alighieri's renowned literary work, "The Divine Comedy". This long narrative poem, written between 1308 and 1321 in Italian, follows Dante's imaginary journey through Hell, Purgatory, and finally to Heaven where he experiences a beatific vision of God. Gustave Doré's illustration beautifully captures the essence of this epic tale. In engraving style, the scene portrays Dante closely following Virgil as they navigate through a hauntingly enchanting woodland. The intricate details of trees and plants create an immersive atmosphere that transports viewers into the depths of their journey. This particular edition was published in the late 19th century by Cassell Petter & Galpin. Gustave Doré's artistic prowess shines through his masterful depiction of these iconic literary figures amidst nature's beauty. His skillful use of monochrome adds depth and intensity to the composition. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless power of literature to transport us to other realms. It serves as a testament to both Dante Alighieri's poetic genius and Gustave Doré's exceptional talent as an illustrator. This piece stands not only as a visual representation but also as an homage to two great minds who have left an indelible mark on art and literature alike.
