EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Circle of the Traitors: Dantes Foot striking Bocca degli Abbate, Inferno" transports viewers into the depths of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Created by William Blake in 1954, this engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Canto XXXII of Inferno. In this haunting illustration, we witness Dante himself standing on a riverbank within the circle of traitors. With his foot raised high above his head, he strikes down Bocca degli Abbate, one of the sinners condemned to eternal suffering for betraying their fellow men. The scene is filled with symbolism and emotion as it showcases both Dante's righteous anger and his journey through Hell. Blake's artistic style reflects the Romanticism movement prevalent during his time. Through intricate details and dramatic lighting, he brings to life the characters and sins described in Dante's poetic masterpiece. Each sinner floats helplessly in an eerie underworld while their sunken heads emerge from their bodies' mouths—a visual representation of their treachery. "The Circle of the Traitors" serves as a powerful reminder that actions have consequences even beyond death. It invites us to explore themes such as guilt, redemption, and justice found throughout literature. This remarkable print can be found at Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge—an invaluable piece that allows us to delve deeper into Dante Alighieri's timeless work.
