"Again mine eyes were fix'd on Beatrice" is an illustration by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his extensive series of artworks for Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." This particular piece corresponds to the first line of Canto XXI of "Paradiso," the third part of the epic poem. Doré's illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" were first published in 1861 and are among the most famous visual interpretations of Dante's work.

The illustration captures the moment when Dante, the protagonist and narrator of the poem, refocuses his attention on Beatrice, his celestial guide, after having been engrossed in the sights of the heavenly sphere. Beatrice, a symbol of divine love and wisdom, is often depicted in Doré's works with an ethereal grace, guiding Dante through the complexities of Paradise.

Gustave Doré's mastery in engraving and his ability to convey the intricate details of the narrative through visual art have made his illustrations a staple in the visual understanding of the "Divine Comedy." His works are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, attention to detail, and the ability to evoke the emotional depth of the text. "Again mine eyes were fix'd on Beatrice" is no exception, as it encapsulates the awe and reverence that Dante feels in the presence of his guide, while also reflecting the grandeur and mysticism of the heavenly realms.

Doré's illustrations have had a significant impact on the reception and interpretation of Dante's "Divine Comedy," influencing not only the arts but also the popular perception of the poem. His visual legacy continues to be celebrated and studied, with his illustrations frequently appearing in editions of the "Divine Comedy" and serving as an inspiration for artists, writers, and readers alike.
