This dramatic engraving by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Dante's Inferno, Canto 12. The scene shows centaurs, creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, wielding bows and arrows and attacking figures in the water. The powerful and graphic imagery emphasizes the brutality of the underworld, a common theme in Doré's illustrations. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, creating a stark and unforgettable image of hell.
