EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created in 1863 by the renowned artist Gustave Dore, depicts a powerful scene from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. In this particular illustration, Dante is seen being shielded from menacing demons by his trusted guide, Virgil. The Italian poet held great admiration for Virgil and included him as a companion throughout his journey through Purgatory and Inferno. The image beautifully captures the essence of Dore's artistic school, showcasing intricate details that bring to life the allegorical nature of Dante's work. As we gaze upon this wood engraving, we are transported into a world filled with religious symbolism and Christian themes. Dante stands at the center of attention, watching intently as Virgil fearlessly protects him from the burning depths of hell. This concept serves as a reminder that even in the face of evil, there is always hope and protection to be found. Dore's masterful use of monochrome adds depth to this nineteenth-century artwork while highlighting its timeless quality. It is no wonder why this print has become an iconic representation of both literature and religious art. As we admire this piece by Gustave Dore, we are reminded not only of Dante Alighieri's profound contribution to poetry but also how art can transcend time and boundaries – uniting countries such as France (where Dore hailed from) with Italy (the birthplace of Dante).
