"The Inferno, Canto 33" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. The artwork depicts a scene from Dante's epic poem "The Inferno", where the poet witnesses the final moments of the betrayer, Judas Iscariot, who is consumed by Satan in the Ninth Circle of Hell. Doré's dramatic portrayal of the scene is characteristic of his work, conveying a sense of both horror and pathos. The dark, shadowy setting emphasizes the grimness of the situation, while the contorted figures of the characters add to the sense of agony and despair. This engraving, like many of Doré's works, captures the imagination of viewers with its vivid and emotional depiction of Dante's Inferno.
