Inferno, Canto 29 - The Falsifiers and Forgers Tormented with Itching
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a vivid illustration from Dante Alighieri's timeless masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy". Created by the talented Gustave Dore in 1885, this digitally colored engraving brings to life the torment of the falsifiers and forgers in Canto 29 of Inferno. In this haunting scene, we witness the punishment inflicted upon those who have deceived others through their deceitful acts. As flames flicker ominously in the background, these sinners are tormented not by fire but by an insatiable itch that consumes them. Their bodies contort and writhe as they desperately scratch at their skin, seeking relief that will never come. Dante Alighieri himself stands alongside his trusted guide Virgil, observing this gruesome spectacle with a mix of horror and fascination. Through his masterful storytelling and poetic prowess, Dante invites us into a world where justice is served with divine precision. Giancarlo Costa's expertly curated collection showcases this rare gem from medieval literature. With its intricate details and profound symbolism, this engraving transports us back to a time when morality was tested and souls were laid bare. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, let us reflect on our own actions and ponder the consequences they may bring. May it serve as a reminder that truth shall always prevail over deception – even in the darkest corners of existence.
