Gustave Doré's illustration for Canto 32, lines 97-98 of Dante Alighieri's "The Inferno" is a striking visual representation of one of the most intense moments in the Divine Comedy. The lines, "Then seizing on his hinder scalp, I cried: 'Name thee, or not a hair shall tarry here,'" depict a scene of confrontation and desperation in the frozen lake of Cocytus, where traitors are punished in the Ninth Circle of Hell. Doré, a French artist renowned for his detailed and dramatic engravings, brings this harrowing episode to life with his masterful use of light and shadow, capturing the raw emotion and tension of the moment.

In this particular illustration, Doré emphasizes the physicality and brutality of Dante's encounter with the damned soul. The image likely shows Dante, the pilgrim, gripping the hair of a sinner buried in the ice, demanding his identity. The stark contrast between the dark, oppressive environment of Cocytus and the illuminated figures highlights the severity of the punishment and the desperation of the souls trapped within. Doré's ability to convey the cold, unyielding nature of the ice and the anguish of the sinners adds a layer of depth to Dante's vivid descriptions.

Doré's illustrations for "The Inferno" are celebrated for their ability to enhance the reader's experience of Dante's text, providing a visual counterpart to the poet's rich and often terrifying imagery. His work on "The Divine Comedy" remains some of the most iconic and influential interpretations of the epic poem, continuing to captivate audiences with their dramatic intensity and intricate detail. This particular illustration, like many others in the series, serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of both Dante's literary genius and Doré's artistic prowess.
