The Inferno, Canto 30 

This illustration by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Dante's Inferno, Canto 30, and is a classic example of the artist's powerful and evocative style. Doré's meticulous attention to detail brings the text to life, creating a visceral and haunting image of the damned. The stark contrasts of light and shadow, along with the use of grotesque figures and symbolic imagery, create a strong sense of the Inferno's bleakness and despair. The work is a masterpiece of black and white engraving, and a testament to Doré's skill as a visual storyteller.
