"Thence issuing we again beheld the stars" is a renowned illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his extensive work on Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." This particular illustration corresponds to the final line of Canto XXXIV of "Inferno," the first part of Dante's epic poem. Doré's illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" are celebrated for their dramatic intensity, intricate detail, and profound ability to capture the essence of Dante's visionary journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise.

Gustave Doré (1832-1883) was a prolific artist known for his engravings, which have illustrated numerous literary classics. His work on the "Divine Comedy," first published in 1861, is among his most acclaimed achievements. Doré's illustrations are characterized by their meticulous craftsmanship and their ability to convey the emotional and spiritual depth of Dante's narrative.

In "Thence issuing we again beheld the stars," Doré captures the moment of Dante and Virgil's emergence from Hell, symbolizing hope, redemption, and the end of their harrowing journey through the infernal realms. The illustration is marked by its stark contrast between the dark, oppressive environment of Hell and the serene, celestial beauty of the stars above. This contrast not only highlights the physical transition from darkness to light but also underscores the thematic journey from despair to hope.

Doré's ability to translate Dante's poetic vision into visual art has left a lasting impact on the interpretation and appreciation of the "Divine Comedy." His illustrations continue to be a vital reference for both scholars and enthusiasts of Dante's work, offering a visual companion that enhances the reader's understanding of the text. "Thence issuing we again beheld the stars" remains a powerful representation of the enduring human quest for enlightenment and salvation.
