EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885, it depicts Canto 8 of the Inferno. In this haunting image, we witness the soul of Florentine Philippo Argenti confronting the poets on the Styx. Dante and his guide Virgil find themselves in a small rowboat on the river of hell. As they navigate through its murky waters, they are approached by Argenti, a notorious figure known for his violent nature during his time in Florence. The engraving beautifully portrays the tension and despair that fills this encounter. The use of digital coloring adds depth to Dore's intricate engravings, allowing us to fully appreciate every detail. From the boat itself to the nakedness of Argenti's tormented soul, each element contributes to creating an eerie atmosphere that perfectly aligns with Dante's vision. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported back to medieval Italy and immersed in Dante's poetic world. It serves as a reminder of both our fascination with darkness and our eternal quest for redemption. This print is not only a testament to Giancarlo Costa's skillful curation but also an invitation for us all to explore one of literature's greatest masterpieces.
