Painting Description
"Then heard I echoing on from choir to choir" is an illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his extensive series of works for Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." This particular piece corresponds to Canto XXVII, line 86 of the "Purgatorio," the second part of the epic poem. Doré's illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" were first published in 1861 and are among his most famous and celebrated works.
The illustration captures the moment in the narrative when Dante, guided by the Roman poet Virgil, hears the harmonious echoes of angelic choirs in Purgatory. Doré's mastery of light and shadow is evident in this piece, as he uses these elements to convey the ethereal and transcendent nature of the celestial voices. The artwork is characterized by its intricate detail and the emotional depth with which Doré depicts the souls in Purgatory, reflecting the poem's themes of repentance and spiritual longing.
Gustave Doré's illustrations have had a lasting impact on the visual interpretation of the "Divine Comedy," with his depictions becoming iconic representations of Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. "Then heard I echoing on from choir to choir" is a testament to Doré's ability to translate the complex allegorical and theological content of Dante's work into powerful visual imagery, resonating with audiences and influencing the arts for generations.
