Traitors--Bocca Degli Abati 

This illustration, created by French artist Gustave Doré, depicts a scene from Dante's Inferno. Titled "Traitors--Bocca Degli Abati," this work is a striking visual representation of treachery and punishment in the ninth circle of Hell. The scene is characterized by a haunting sense of despair and isolation, with the figures of the damned trapped in frozen ice. The composition features a central figure, Bocca Degli Abati, kneeling over a figure frozen in the ice, while another figure observes from the right. Doré's detailed and expressive style bring to life Dante's vivid descriptions of the afterlife.
