"We Through the Broken Rock Ascended," (Canto IV., line 33) is a powerful and emotionally resonant artwork by Gustave Doré, a prominent French artist known for his detailed engravings and illustrations. This piece is part of his larger body of work illustrating Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy."

In the image, and his guide, Virgil, can be seen climbing a rugged, jagged mountain face, representing the tremendous struggle of ascending from Hell towards Purgatory and eventually Heaven, in keeping with the narrative of the poem. Doré's skillful engraving showcases a dramatic and stark contrast between light and dark, embodying the contrast of despair and hope within Dante's journey. The grand scale depicted in the frame enhances the feeling of insignificance and struggle against overwhelming odds.

The work is noted for its meticulously detailed characters, with their worn faces reflecting the hardship and spiritual conflict they endure. The larger landscape, with its towering rock cliffs, sharply defined against a sublime and cloudy atmosphere, further adds a sense of scale and majesty to the scene.

"We Through the Broken Rock Ascended" remains an excellent example of Doré's capacity for creating striking, narrative-driven visuals that give depth and texture to the epic tales they depict. As such, it remains of lasting importance both for those interested in Dante’s writings and in the history of illustrative artistry.
