Virgil, Dante and Taide – Engraving by Gustave Doré (Inferno, Canto XVIII, vv. 132-135)

The black and white plates of the Divine Comedy are unanimously considered a perfect marriage between Gustave Doré's engraving skill and Dante Alighieri's extraordinary visual imagination.
Each illustration, printed and mounted on pure cotton canvas, follows a manufacturing process inspired by historical techniques, designed to ensure the best preservation over time and safe shipping of the work.
The slight natural aging of the surface – achieved exclusively with organic substances – gives the board an authentic appearance, without altering the integrity of the original image.
The result is a product that, through materials, care, and historical accuracy, restores the beauty and cultural value of Doré's original engravings, paying homage to one of the greatest masterpieces of universal art and literature.
Since each piece is handcrafted and finished, slight variations in tone or texture may occur, a hallmark of the craftsmanship that makes each piece unique.
