EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Purgatorio, Canto 28: Dante, Virgil, and Statius" takes us on a journey through the ancient forest of the terrestrial paradise. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 as an illustration for Dante Alighieri's epic poem The Divine Comedy, this digitally colored engraving transports us to a world of mystery and wonder. In the center of the image stands Dante himself, accompanied by his guide Virgil and another poet named Statius. They are surrounded by towering trees that seem to stretch endlessly into the heavens. Rays of sunlight filter through the dense foliage, casting an ethereal glow upon their faces. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony as these three figures traverse this enchanted forest. Each step they take brings them closer to redemption and spiritual enlightenment. Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia is considered one of the greatest works in Italian literature. It explores themes such as sin, punishment, love, and salvation through its vivid descriptions and allegorical representations. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured Dore's original engraving with meticulous detail. This print serves as a testament to both artists' ability to bring words to life visually. Whether you are familiar with Dante's work or simply appreciate breathtaking artistry, this print invites you into a realm where imagination knows no bounds. Let yourself be transported into this medieval landscape where poetry intertwines with visual beauty.
