EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration by Gustave Doré, titled "I, who now bid thee on this errand forth, am Beatrice". Created in 1890, this artwork is part of Dante Alighieri's renowned literary masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy". The poem takes readers on an imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and ultimately Heaven. Doré's intricate engraving skillfully captures the essence of Dante's vision. In the image, we see Beatrice di Folco Portinari portrayed as a radiant figure amidst darkness. She stands as a symbol of light and hope in this epic narrative. Beatrice was Dante's muse and love interest throughout his life; her presence here represents guidance and inspiration for the protagonist. Doré masterfully depicts the contrast between light and shadow to convey the profound themes explored in Dante's work. This particular edition of "The Divine Comedy" was published in the late 19th century by Cassell Petter & Galpin. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, immerse yourself in its rich symbolism and allow your imagination to wander through Dante Alighieri's extraordinary world. Experience his poetic journey from despair to enlightenment while appreciating Gustave Doré’s artistic brilliance that brings these timeless words to life once more.
