This illustration by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Dante's Inferno, Canto 31. It shows the three monstrous figures of "The Giants" — Antaeus, Briareus and Ephialtes — chained and immersed in a pool of fire. The giants are shown in an exaggerated manner, their bodies towering over the small figures of Dante and Virgil, who observe them from a distance. Doré's depiction captures the awe and fear that Dante experiences in the ninth circle of Hell, emphasizing the power and torment of these condemned souls.
