"Ser Brunetto! And are ye here?" is a notable illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his extensive series of works for Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy." This particular piece corresponds to a moment in Canto XV of the "Inferno," where Dante encounters Brunetto Latini, his mentor and friend, among the souls of the damned in the Seventh Circle, reserved for the violent against God, nature, and art. The illustration captures the poignant recognition and ensuing dialogue between Dante and Latini, emphasizing the emotional complexity and the thematic depth of Dante's journey through Hell.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific engraver, artist, illustrator, and sculptor, known for his brilliant and imaginative interpretations of literary works. His illustrations for "The Divine Comedy," first published in 1861, are among his most celebrated and have significantly contributed to shaping the visual representation of Dante's narrative for the modern audience. Doré's work is characterized by its dramatic intensity, attention to detail, and the ability to convey the emotional and moral weight of the story.

In "Ser Brunetto! And are ye here?", Doré masterfully uses light and shadow to highlight the unexpected encounter between Dante and Latini, creating a scene that is both intimate and harrowing. The illustration not only serves as a visual accompaniment to Dante's text but also enriches the reader's understanding of the complex relationship between the characters and the broader themes of sin, redemption, and human connection that permeate "The Divine Comedy."

This illustration, like many others by Doré, has been influential in the reception and interpretation of Dante's work, offering a visual entry point into the medieval poet's intricate world. Doré's illustrations have been reproduced in numerous editions of "The Divine Comedy" and have left a lasting legacy in the visual arts, continuing to inspire and captivate audiences with their profound beauty and emotional depth.
