"The Inferno, Canto 8, lines 110-111: I could not hear what terms he offer'd them, But they conferr'd not long" is a specific excerpt from Dante Alighieri's "Inferno," the first part of his 14th-century epic poem "Divine Comedy." This passage refers to a moment in the eighth Canto where Dante, accompanied by his guide Virgil, observes a negotiation whose details are not disclosed to him. The scene takes place in the fifth circle of Hell, where the wrathful and sullen are punished.

Gustave Doré, a 19th-century French artist, is renowned for his striking and evocative illustrations of literary works, including Dante's "Divine Comedy." Doré's illustrations have been highly influential and are among the most famous visual interpretations of Dante's work. His depiction of the scene described in lines 110-111 of Canto 8 captures the tension and obscurity of the moment, as Dante and Virgil encounter the demons guarding the city of Dis.

Doré's illustration may be seen as a visual representation of the themes of confusion and the limits of human perception that are present in Dante's text. The artwork typically features the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the otherworldly and foreboding atmosphere of Hell. Doré's ability to convey the emotional and narrative essence of the literary passages he illustrates is a hallmark of his work, making his contributions to the visual arts an important complement to the literary arts.

As an artist, Gustave Doré's contributions to the interpretation of "The Inferno" have been the subject of scholarly analysis and public admiration. His illustrations have been reproduced in numerous editions of "Divine Comedy" and have played a significant role in shaping the visual culture surrounding Dante's poem. The specific illustration for Canto 8, lines 110-111, is part of a larger body of work that continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its ability to bring Dante's complex allegorical narrative to life.
