EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, it depicts Purgatorio, Canto 31: Dante submerged in the mystical River Lethe. The image showcases the incredible talent of both Dore and Alighieri as they bring this otherworldly journey to life. In this momentous illustration, we witness Dante himself immersed in the waters of Lethe. As one of the rivers found within Purgatory, Lethe holds great significance. It is believed that those who enter its depths can cleanse themselves of their past sins and prepare for their ascent to Paradise. Dore's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully portrays the ethereal nature of this scene. The soft hues used in his digital coloring add an extra layer of depth and emotion to the engraving. We are drawn into Dante's experience as he navigates through this transformative river. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and symbolism. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our own struggles and trials, there is always hope for redemption and renewal. This artwork truly encapsulates the timeless power of literature and art to transport us into realms beyond our imagination.
