Légende

'The beautiful lights of heav'n dawn'd through a circular opening in the cave: thus issuing we again beheld the stars', c1890. Dante and the Roman poet Virgil emerge from Hell, and see the stars. Illustration from "The Vision of Hell" (Inferno), the first part of "The Divine Comedy" (La divina commedia) by Dante Alighieri. This long, narrative poem, written in Italian c1308-1321, tracing Dante's imaginary journey from Hell, through Purgatory and finally to Heaven and a beatific vision of God, has been published numerous times. This edition, published late 19th century, is illustrated by Gustave Dore. [Cassell Petter & Galpin, c1890]
