Painting Description
"Inferno, Canto VII, 110-127, The Stygian Lake with angry sinners fighting" is a work by the English artist and poet William Blake, created as part of his series of illustrations for Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." This particular piece corresponds to a scene from the seventh canto of "Inferno," where Dante and his guide, Virgil, observe the wrathful and sullen sinners who are punished in the fifth circle of Hell, the Stygian Lake.
Blake's illustration captures the chaotic and violent nature of the scene described by Dante. The artwork is characterized by its dramatic representation of the damned souls who are eternally engaged in fierce combat, tearing at each other in a representation of their anger and aggression. The murky waters of the Stygian Lake add to the dark and oppressive atmosphere of the piece, reflecting the hopelessness of the sinners' plight.
William Blake was commissioned to produce a series of illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" in 1826, and although he worked on this project until his death in 1827, it remained incomplete. Blake's approach to illustrating Dante's epic poem was unique and visionary, blending his own spiritual and artistic sensibilities with the text. His illustrations for the "Divine Comedy" are considered some of his most profound and compelling works, offering a rich visual interpretation of Dante's complex allegorical narrative.
The illustration "Inferno, Canto VII, 110-127, The Stygian Lake with angry sinners fighting" is a testament to Blake's imaginative power and his ability to convey the emotional intensity of Dante's work. It remains an important piece within Blake's body of work and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and literary significance.
