EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the legendary moment when Dante Alighieri and his Virgilian guide, the ancient Roman poet Virgil, are ferried across the river Styx by Charon, the enigmatic ferryman of the Underworld in Dante's Inferno. Dante's epic poem, written in the 14th century, describes his journey through the nine circles of hell, guided by the wise Virgil. The scene unfolds on the murky waters of the Styx, with Charon skillfully maneuvering his boat, or "barca," towards the shore. Dante, dressed in the traditional attire of a medieval pilgrim, clings to Virgil for support as they navigate the treacherous waters. The expression on their faces conveys a sense of awe, trepidation, and determination as they embark on their descent into the Underworld. In the background, the dark and ominous landscape of the Underworld is visible, with its towering cliffs and twisted trees. The overall mood is one of otherworldly beauty and the inescapable reality of mortality. This image is a testament to the enduring power of Dante's poetic vision and the enduring fascination with the mythology of the ancient world. Charon, a figure from Greek mythology, plays a crucial role in Dante's narrative as the only means of crossing the river Styx, the boundary between the living world and the Underworld. His stoic and unyielding demeanor adds to the sense of solemnity and finality that pervades Dante's epic journey. This evocative print, with its rich details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into the imaginative world of Dante's Inferno and the timeless allure of the classical myths that continue to captivate our collective imagination.
