Inferno, Canto 14, line 37-39: Unceasing was the play of wretched hands, Now this, now that way glancing, to shake off The heat, still falling fresh" is a striking etching by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist and printmaker who gained immense notability for his illustrations of prominent literary works. This particular artwork is part of Doré's impressive portfolio of over 200 compelling engravings that he crafted for an 1861 edition of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Specifically, this piece visually interprets a segment from the Inferno, the first part of Dante's epic poem.

In this etching, Doré vividly encapsulates the torment of the Sodomites damned in the third ring of the Seventh Circle of Hell, as described in Dante's Inferno. This line portrays the condemned souls instinctively glancing Here and there, shaking their hands in a continuous attempt to relieve pain, as the divine heat descends upon them relentlessly.

Respected for his endeavours in translating Dante's profound poetic imagery to visual medium, Doré's composition within this etching captures the essence of Dante's narrative, offering a tangible depiction of the textual descriptions through intricate details, stark contrast and a balance of light and shadow. Despite the etching's underlying theme of torment and damnation, the resulting work possesses certain aesthetic allure that's synonymous with Doré's signature style.
