"The Inferno, Canto 32, lines 20-22: 'Look how thou walkest. Take good heed, thy soles do tread not on the heads of thy poor brethren.'" is an illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, part of his extensive series of works for Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." Created in the 19th century, Doré's illustrations have become some of the most iconic and widely recognized visual interpretations of Dante's epic poem. This particular illustration accompanies the text of Canto 32 of "Inferno," which is the first part of the "Divine Comedy."

In this canto, Dante and his guide, Virgil, enter the final circle of Hell, where traitors are punished. The lines spoken by Virgil caution Dante to be mindful of where he steps, as the ground is covered with the heads of the damned, frozen into the ice of the lake Cocytus. Doré's illustration captures the bleak and harrowing atmosphere of the scene, with the figures of Dante and Virgil navigating the treacherous terrain of the frozen lake, surrounded by the suffering souls of traitors.

Doré's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, intricate detail, and its ability to convey the emotional depth and complexity of Dante's narrative. His illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" were widely celebrated during his lifetime and continue to influence the visual arts, literature, and popular culture, offering a profound visual companion to the medieval text. The impact of Doré's illustrations on the interpretation and reception of Dante's work is a testament to the artist's skill in visual storytelling and his deep engagement with the source material.
