Gustave Doré, a renowned 19th-century French artist, is celebrated for his masterful illustrations of literary classics, including Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." Among his most acclaimed works are the illustrations for "The Inferno," the first part of Dante's epic poem. One of the notable illustrations from this series depicts lines 127-129 of Canto 34: "By that hidden way My guide and I did enter, to return To the fair world." This passage marks the climactic conclusion of Dante and Virgil's harrowing journey through Hell, as they ascend from the depths of the infernal realm back to the surface of the Earth.

Doré's illustration captures the moment of transition and liberation, emphasizing the contrast between the dark, oppressive environment of Hell and the promise of the "fair world" above. His use of light and shadow, intricate detailing, and dramatic composition brings to life the profound sense of relief and hope that accompanies the characters' escape from the underworld. The illustration not only serves as a visual representation of Dante's text but also enhances the emotional and thematic depth of the narrative.

Doré's work on "The Inferno" was first published in 1861 and has since become iconic, influencing countless interpretations of Dante's masterpiece. His ability to convey the intense atmosphere and complex symbolism of the poem has cemented his status as one of the greatest illustrators of all time. The illustration of Canto 34, lines 127-129, remains a powerful testament to Doré's artistic genius and his profound understanding of Dante's vision.
