Inferno, Canto 17 - Geryon, symbol of deceit
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Gustave Dore's digitally colored engraving from "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in the epic poem where Dante encounters Geryon, the embodiment of deception and treachery. In this mesmerizing illustration, we witness Geryon's monstrous form as he stands amidst the fiery depths of hell. With his serpentine tail coiled around him and bat-like wings spread wide, he exudes an aura of malevolence and cunning. His deceptive appearance perfectly mirrors his role as a symbol of deceit within Dante's narrative. Dore's intricate attention to detail brings this mythological figure to life. Every line etched into the engraving captures the essence of Geryon's wickedness while also showcasing Dore's mastery as an artist. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported into Dante's vivid imagination and confronted with the consequences of falsehoods and betrayal. It serves as a reminder that even in our own lives, we must be vigilant against those who seek to deceive us. This rare gem from Giancarlo Costa’s private collection not only pays homage to one of Italy’s greatest literary works but also invites us to delve deeper into its rich symbolism and timeless themes.
