The Gluttons 

"The Gluttons" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. This image depicts a scene from Dante's *Inferno*, specifically Canto XXIV, in which the poet witnesses the tormented souls of the gluttonous in the third circle of hell. The scene showcases Doré's signature style of realism and exaggerated figures, conveying the grimness and despair of the underworld. The emaciated figures, their bodies contorted in agony, serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked indulgence. The contrast between the emaciated figures and the towering shadowy trees adds to the sense of desolation. This harrowing depiction of the afterlife is a powerful testament to Doré's ability to translate literary works into compelling visual narratives.
