Venus 

"Venus" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, a famous 19th-century French artist known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. This particular work depicts a scene from Dante's *Inferno*, with Venus, the Roman goddess of love, standing with her followers in a lush, shadowed forest. Doré's signature style is evident in the intricate details and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and drama. The engraving's composition emphasizes the divine presence of Venus, contrasting the dark, forested landscape with the bright, ethereal figure of the goddess.
