"The Inferno, Canto 22" is a powerful engraving by Gustave Doré, a French artist known for his dramatic interpretations of literary works. This image vividly depicts a scene from Dante's *Inferno*, specifically the moment when the fallen angel, a fallen angel, is plunged into the river of boiling blood, a punishment reserved for those guilty of violence. Doré’s skill is evident in the dynamic composition, capturing the fury of the fallen angel’s struggle as the devil drags him into the abyss. The contrasting light and shadow emphasize the depth and darkness of hell, creating a chilling and unforgettable visual.
