EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Purgatorio, Canto 9: Dante, in a dream, is carried off by an eagle" takes us on a visual journey through the depths of Dante Alighieri's imagination. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored for enhanced effect, this engraving brings to life one of the most iconic scenes from The Divine Comedy. In this mesmerizing illustration, we witness Dante being swept away by a majestic eagle while he slumbers. As the bird soars through the sky with effortless grace, it carries our protagonist towards unknown realms. The artist skillfully captures both the awe-inspiring power of the eagle and Dante's vulnerability as he surrenders himself to this mystical experience. The image is bathed in warm hues that evoke a sense of otherworldliness. A radiant sun shines down upon them as fluffy clouds drift lazily across the sky. This celestial backdrop adds an ethereal quality to their ascent and hints at divine intervention guiding their path. Dante's journey into purgatory becomes palpable as we observe his abduction by this magnificent creature. It serves as a metaphorical representation of his spiritual awakening and transformation throughout his pilgrimage. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved Dore's original work while infusing it with new life through digital coloring techniques. This print not only pays homage to two great artistic minds but also invites viewers into Dante's vivid world where poetry intertwines with imagery to create something truly extraordinary.
