The Circle of the Traitors - Dante's Foot Striking Bocca degli Abbate, Inferno
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by William Blake, we are transported into the depths of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". The image depicts a powerful scene from Canto XXXII of the Inferno, where Dante and his guide Virgil encounter the treacherous sinners in the ninth circle of Hell. At its center stands Bocca degli Abbate, a notorious traitor whose mouth is being struck by Dante's foot. Surrounding them is a river that symbolizes their eternal punishment for betraying their fellow men. Each sinner floats helplessly in this dark underworld as they pay for their sins. Blake's intricate details and use of light capture the essence of Romanticism, bringing to life these literary characters with intensity and emotion. The sunken heads and bodies serve as a reminder of their past transgressions while emphasizing their suffering. This print not only showcases Blake's artistic talent but also highlights Dante Alighieri's profound exploration of human nature and morality through poetry. It serves as an invitation to delve into one of literature's greatest works, where sinners face divine justice amidst vivid imagery and thought-provoking symbolism. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, this engraving invites viewers to appreciate both visual artistry and timeless literary masterpieces that continue to inspire generations across centuries.
