EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Circle of the Lustful" a series of illustrations based on Dante's Divine Comedy, created by the renowned artist William Blake in 1827. The engraving on India paper beautifully captures the essence of this powerful literary work. In this particular scene, we are transported to the depths of Hell as described by Dante Alighieri. A river flows through the background, symbolizing both life and death. Amongst its murky waters lie corpses and souls, trapped in eternal damnation for their sinful desires. Blake's intricate attention to detail brings forth a hauntingly vivid depiction of lust and its consequences. The naked figures represent those consumed by their earthly desires, stripped bare not only physically but also spiritually. Each line etched into the engraving tells a story - line 137 from Canto V of Inferno guides our gaze towards these tormented souls. As we delve into this artistic vision, we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to exploring profound themes such as sin and redemption. This masterpiece is housed within Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the United States. Through this remarkable artwork, Blake invites us to reflect upon our own inner struggles with temptation and reminds us that even amidst darkness there is beauty to be found within artistic expression.
