EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Illustration from Dante's Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto XII: 55" transports us into the depths of hell itself. Created in 1921 by Franz von Bayros, this watercolor on paper piece is a haunting depiction of eternal suffering and chaos. In the center of the composition, we witness a stampede of centaurs - half-human and half-horse creatures - charging forward with bows and arrows in hand. Their fierce attack leaves victims injured and writhing in pain. The atmosphere is filled with an overwhelming sense of punishment and death. Amidst this macabre scene stands a figure that offers a stark contrast to the surrounding madness – the Madonna and Child. This religious symbol represents hope amidst despair, as they watch over those condemned to endure their eternal torment. Bayros' attention to detail brings every element to life; from the agonized expressions on each face to the dynamic movement captured within each stroke. The artist masterfully captures both physical agony and emotional turmoil through his use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this powerful illustration, we are reminded of Dante's timeless words that describe Hell as a place where sinners suffer eternally for their transgressions. Through Bayros' artistry, we are transported into this realm ourselves – witnessing firsthand the consequences that await those who succumb to darkness.
