EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from Dante Alighieri's renowned literary masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. Created by the talented artist Gustave Dore in 1885, this digitally colored engraving depicts a scene from Purgatorio, Canto 19. In the image, we witness the souls of the avaricious being addressed by Adrian V (pape Adrien V), who was once Pope during the medieval period. Dante himself stands beside him as they engage in conversation amidst the purgatory landscape. The intricate details and skillful coloring bring to life this momentous encounter between two iconic figures. Dante Alighieri, an Italian author and poet of great influence during his time, is best known for his Divina Commedia or Divine Comedy. This epic poem explores various themes including sin, redemption, and spirituality. The souls depicted here represent those consumed by greed and materialistic desires – one of the seven deadly sins. Through their portrayal in this artwork, we are reminded of the consequences that such vices can have on our spiritual journey. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this significant moment through his lens and presents it to us as a thought-provoking piece of art. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when literature held immense power to shape society's understanding of morality and human nature.
