EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "E en in like manner Adams evil brood" transports us into the depths of Dante Alighieri's imagination. Created by the talented Gustave Doré in 1890, this illustration is part of his series for "The Vision of Hell" (Inferno), which is the first part of Dante's renowned epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". In this haunting scene, we witness a chilling procession as Adam's evil descendants cast themselves one by one from the shore into the treacherous river Styx. The river serves as their passage to Hell, where they will endure eternal suffering for their transgressions. Doré masterfully captures the anguish and despair on each face as these tormented souls embark on their fateful journey. The intricate details and skillful use of shading bring an eerie realism to this monochrome engraving. "The Vision of Hell" takes readers on a profound exploration through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Dante's poetic narrative delves deep into themes of sin, redemption, and divine justice. This particular edition published in the late 19th century showcases Doré's exceptional artistic interpretation alongside Alighieri's timeless words. As we gaze upon this print with its powerful imagery and symbolism, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for both good and evil. It serves as a poignant reminder that our actions have consequences beyond our mortal lives – a thought-provoking reflection captured beautifully by Doré’s skilled hand.
