Gustave Doré's illustration for Canto 7, lines 65-67, of Dante Alighieri's "The Inferno" is a striking visual interpretation of one of the most poignant moments in the Divine Comedy. This particular passage, "Not all the gold, that is beneath the moon, Or ever hath been, of these toil-worn souls Might purchase rest for one," encapsulates the futility of material wealth in the face of eternal damnation and spiritual suffering. Doré, a prolific 19th-century French artist, illustrator, and sculptor, is renowned for his detailed and imaginative illustrations that bring literary classics to life. His work on the Divine Comedy, completed in the 1860s, is among his most celebrated and consists of 135 engravings that vividly depict Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise.

Doré's interpretation of this specific passage from "The Inferno" is emblematic of his ability to capture the essence of Dante's text and enhance its emotional impact through visual art. The illustration not only reflects the despair and hopelessness of the souls mentioned in the passage but also serves as a commentary on the human condition, echoing Dante's themes of justice, retribution, and the possibility of redemption. Doré's meticulous attention to detail, use of light and shadow, and ability to convey complex emotional states through facial expressions and body language, make this illustration a powerful accompaniment to Dante's words.

As part of Doré's broader work on the Divine Comedy, this illustration contributes to the enduring appeal and accessibility of Dante's epic poem. Doré's engravings have been instrumental in shaping the visual imagination of readers for generations, offering a gateway into the richly layered world of Dante's masterpiece. Through his art, Doré invites viewers to engage with the Divine Comedy in a deeply personal and immersive manner, ensuring the poem's relevance and resonance continue to endure.
