EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". In Purgatorio, Canto 16, we witness Marco Lombardo bravely following the poets through billowing smoke. Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored for enhanced effect, this artwork transports us to the mystical realm of purgatory. Dante Alighieri, an esteemed Italian author and poet from the 13th century, penned Divina Commedia as a journey through hell (Inferno), purgatory (Purgatorio), and heaven (Paradiso). This particular illustration showcases his encounter with Marco Lombardo during their ascent through purgatory. As our eyes are drawn into the scene, we can almost feel the dense smoke enveloping us. The medieval setting adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this timeless piece. It is a testament to Dore's skill that he manages to convey both Marco Lombardo's determination and vulnerability amidst such challenging conditions. Through Giancarlo Costa's careful curation of this artwork from his private collection, we are reminded of the power of literature and art to transport us across time and space. This engraving serves as a visual representation of Dante's profound exploration of human nature, redemption, and spiritual growth. Whether you are familiar with Dante's work or not, this evocative print invites contemplation on life's trials and our own personal journeys towards enlightenment.
