"In fashion, as a snow-white rose, lay then Before my view the saintly multitude" is an illustration by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his extensive series of works for Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." This particular piece corresponds to Canto XXXI of "Paradiso," the third and final part of the epic poem. Doré's illustration captures the celestial vision described by Dante, where the souls of the blessed in Heaven are likened to a white rose, symbolizing divine order and purity.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific illustrator, artist, and sculptor, known for his detailed and imaginative visual interpretations of literary classics. His illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" were produced in the 19th century and are among his most celebrated works. They have been widely reproduced and have significantly influenced the visual culture surrounding Dante's writings.

The illustration in question is characterized by Doré's intricate line work and mastery of light and shadow, which bring to life the ethereal and harmonious nature of Dante's vision. The image serves as a visual exegesis of the text, inviting viewers to contemplate the spiritual themes and allegorical meanings within the poem. Doré's ability to translate the complex narrative and theological concepts of "Paradiso" into compelling visual form has made his illustrations an enduring part of the legacy of "The Divine Comedy."
