EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "Inferno". Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885, the image depicts Canto 9: The burning sepulchres of the heresiarchs. With meticulous digital coloring, Dore brings to life the vivid imagination of Dante as he explores the depths of hell. The fiery glow emanating from the sepulchres creates an eerie and haunting atmosphere. Each tomb represents a heresiarch, a leader or founder of a religious sect deemed heretical by orthodox beliefs. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into Dante's world where punishment is meted out for those who have strayed from accepted doctrine. Dante himself stands beside his guide Virgil, both figures illuminated against the darkness that surrounds them. Their presence adds depth and perspective to this infernal landscape. Through their journey, they encounter various historical figures and explore themes such as sin, redemption, and divine justice. This engraving not only showcases Dore's exceptional artistic talent but also serves as a visual representation of one of literature's most profound works. It invites us to delve deeper into Dante's Divine Comedy and contemplate our own understanding of faith and morality. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this timeless piece in all its glory through his lens. This print is sure to captivate art enthusiasts and literary aficionados alike with its rich symbolism and intricate details that bring Dante's vision to life
