"The Inferno, Canto 8, lines 39-41: My teacher sage Aware, thrusting him back: 'Away! down there To the' other dogs!'" is an illustration by the renowned French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his extensive series of works depicting scenes from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy." This particular piece visually interprets a moment from the eighth Canto of "Inferno," where Dante and his guide, the Roman poet Virgil, encounter the wrathful and sullen in the fifth circle of Hell.

Doré's illustration captures the intensity of the scene as Virgil, referred to as "my teacher sage," forcefully rebukes the mythological creature Phlegyas, who begrudgingly transports the poets across the river Styx. Doré's mastery of dramatic contrasts and intricate detail brings to life the emotional gravity of the encounter, as Virgil asserts his authority over the demonic figure, commanding him to join the other condemned souls.

Gustave Doré's illustrations for "The Divine Comedy" were first published in 1861 and have since become some of the most iconic and widely recognized visual interpretations of Dante's work. His engravings, characterized by their gothic style and elaborate compositions, have had a lasting impact on the visual arts and continue to influence how readers envision the scenes of "The Divine Comedy." Doré's work on "The Inferno" is particularly noted for its powerful imagery and its ability to convey the poem's dark and foreboding atmosphere.
