“Heresiarchs” is a wood-engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré. It is a striking depiction of a scene from Dante’s *Inferno*, where the poet encounters the souls of heretics who are condemned to be buried alive in flaming tombs. Doré's powerful imagery, often depicting a scene of chaos and disarray, is a hallmark of his work. This print exemplifies his ability to create a dramatic and unsettling scene by using stark contrasts of light and dark, and intricate detail.
