Dante's journey through the underworld gives us a surreal look at a nightmare land of pain, punishment and despair. Guided by the poet Virgil, himself consigned to the upper circle of Hell (because he was born before Christ and therefore died without being baptized), Dante travels ever deeper into the world of the damned, encountering awe inspiring creatures and sights, as well as the pathetic figures of men and women that he knew in life.
Dante's vivid prose lends itself well to the illustrator's art. The Inferno has been illustrated by a number of great artists including Gustav Dore and William Blake, each of whom brought his own unique interpretation to Dante's timeless classic of the Inferno. Here you will find a gallery of images, like a fever-dream of monsters and fear, drawn by the pen of the great Gustav Dore, casting a light on the dark realm of the Nine Circles of Hell.
