"The Inferno, Canto 31, lines 133-135: Yet in th' abyss, That Lucifer with Judas low ingulfs, Lightly he plac'd us" is a specific excerpt from Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy," a seminal work of Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. This passage refers to a moment in the epic poem where the characters are in the ninth and final circle of Hell, where traitors are punished. Lucifer, also known as Satan, is depicted in this part of the poem as being trapped in the frozen lake of Cocytus, where he eternally consumes the traitors Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius.

The phrase has been visually interpreted by Gustave Doré, a renowned 19th-century French artist, who is famous for his detailed and evocative illustrations of "The Divine Comedy." Doré's illustrations have become some of the most iconic and widely recognized visual representations of Dante's work. His work on "The Divine Comedy" is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, capturing the grandeur and the terror of Dante's vision of Hell.

Doré's illustration for this particular passage, as with many of his works, is characterized by its intricate detail and emotional intensity. It is part of a larger series of engravings that were originally published alongside an 1861 edition of "The Divine Comedy," helping to bring Dante's complex allegorical narrative to a wider audience and solidifying Doré's reputation as a master illustrator.

The specific illustration for Canto 31, lines 133-135, would depict the moment described in these lines, likely focusing on the figures of Dante, his guide Virgil, and the imposing figure of Lucifer. As with all of Doré's illustrations for "The Divine Comedy," the artwork would aim to capture the essence of Dante's text, translating the poetic imagery into a visual form that enhances the reader's experience of the poem.
