Inferno, Canto X: Many artists have attempted to illustrate Dante Alighieri's epic poem the Divine Comedy, but none have made such an indelible stamp on our collective imagination as the Frenchman Gustave Doré.
Brand New/Unread condition! ABOUT THE BOOK: Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. In Inferno, the first of the three books in his Divine Comedy, the poet Dante, adrift spiritually and emotionally in life, journeys down to Hell. Accompanied by the poet Virgil, Dante travels through all nine circles of the realm, meeting an array of sinners from Christian and classical history and legend. The terror and confusion he experiences ultimately give way to an understanding of the divine plan and the realization of divine love. Written in the 14th century, Dante's epic poem is a masterful meditation on the personal search for spiritual redemption. This fully illustrated edition features more than seventy engravings by Gustave Dore that bring the horrors and the majesty of Dante's creation vividly to life.

"Empyrean," illustrated by Gustave Doré in the 19th century, is a mesmerizing and ethereal depiction of the highest heaven. The illustration portrays an intricate and luminous celestial scene, with countless angels and divine beings forming concentric circles around a central radiant light. The figures appear to be in a state of rapture, their wings and flowing garments contributing to the dynamic and swirling movement within the composition. At the bottom center, two human figures, likely representing Dante and Beatrice from Dante's "Divine Comedy," stand in awe, gazing upwards towards the blinding source of divine illumination. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, creates a sense of infinite depth and spiritual transcendence, capturing the sublime and otherworldly essence of the Empyrean.

A series of book covers and interior spreads, a contemporary take on Dante's classic poems. I wanted to create a set of book covers that did not use images from the Bosch Hell painting, or any images of Dante and Virgil that are normally found on covers for the Divine Comedy. I was inspired by Dante's use of mathematics and architecture in describing Hell, Heaven and Purgatory. I employed simple geometric shapes and color to represent these places, while still keeping the design simple, and allowing the reader to use their imagination when reading these vivid poems.
