"The Inferno, Canto 29, lines 4-6: But Virgil rous'd me: 'What yet gazest on? Wherefore doth fasten yet thy sight below Among the maim'd and miserable shades?'" 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 a moment in Canto 29 of "Inferno," where the poet Dante is reprimanded by his guide Virgil for lingering too long over the suffering souls in the eighth circle of Hell, the Malebolge, where the fraudulent are punished.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was an artist, printmaker, and illustrator who gained widespread acclaim for his grand and imaginative scenes, often depicting dramatic and fantastical subjects. His illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" were completed in the 19th century and are among his most famous works, celebrated for their intricate detail, emotional power, and their ability to capture the epic scope of Dante's narrative.

Doré's interpretation of Canto 29, lines 4-6, reflects his mastery in conveying the narrative and emotional depth of literary texts. The illustration is likely to depict the moment of interaction between Dante and Virgil, with the former being drawn to the tormented figures in Hell, and the latter urging him to move on. Doré's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to highlight the contrast between the divine guide and the human poet, as well as the stark despair of the damned souls.

As a significant contribution to the visual arts and the reception of Dante's work, Doré's illustration continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its role in bringing one of the world's great literary masterpieces to life. The image is not only a testament to Doré's skill as an illustrator but also to the enduring power of Dante's vision of the afterlife, which has inspired artists for centuries.
