EDITORS COMMENTS
The Circle of the Thieves: Buoso Donati Attacked by the Serpent" is a captivating print that brings to life one of the most dramatic scenes from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". Created by William Blake in the early 19th century, this engraving showcases his mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture fantastical characters with great detail. In this particular illustration, we witness Buoso Donati, a notorious criminal condemned to Purgatory for his sins. As he traverses through the underworld, he finds himself in the treacherous Circle of Thieves. Here, a monstrous serpent lurks amidst a chaotic scene filled with other sinners who have fallen victim to their own vices. Blake's portrayal not only captures the terror and desperation on Buoso's face as he is attacked by this venomous creature but also highlights the intricate details of each character present. The snakes slithering around add an extra layer of danger and symbolism to this haunting image. This print serves as a reminder of Dante's powerful storytelling and Blake's artistic genius. It invites us into a world where sinners face their consequences while showcasing themes such as redemption and punishment. Through its vivid depiction, it transports viewers into an imaginative realm where literature meets artistry – truly capturing both the essence and depth found within "The Divine Comedy.
