1307 Bodies Comedy Contemplate Dante Divine Frozen Hell Inferno Necks Punished Sinners Submerged Virgil
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the legendary poet Dante Alighieri and his wise guide Virgil as they traverse the frigid depths of Hell's ninth circle, the Ice Circle, in Dante's Inferno. Written in 1307, Dante's Divine Comedy is a literary masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences with its vivid descriptions of the afterlife. In this scene, the two figures are seen contemplating the fate of the evildoers who are punished by being submerged up to their necks in ice. The sinners, identified only by their sinful acts, are frozen in time and space, their bodies a stark reminder of the divine retribution for their transgressions. Virgil, the ancient Roman poet and Dante's mentor, serves as his guide through the treacherous terrain of Hell. With a look of somber reflection, Virgil points to the icy prisoners, likely imparting a lesson or offering words of wisdom to Dante. The frozen landscape adds a surreal and otherworldly quality to the scene, further emphasizing the fantastical nature of Dante's Inferno. The image invites us to contemplate the nature of sin, retribution, and the power of the divine. This historical print, published by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the rich and complex world of Dante's Inferno and the enduring legacy of his literary masterpiece. With its intricate details and evocative imagery, this print is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, literature, or the art of the past.
