"Inferno, Canto VIII, 30-64, Virgil repelling Filippo Argenti from the Boat" is a watercolor illustration by the English artist and poet William Blake, created as part of his series of artworks based on Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." This particular piece, which is not as widely studied as some of Blake's other works, depicts a scene from the eighth canto of the "Inferno," where the character Virgil, guiding the poet Dante through Hell, repels the wrathful soul of Filippo Argenti from their boat as they traverse the Stygian marsh.

The illustration captures the dramatic moment when Virgil asserts his authority over Argenti, a historical figure whom Dante encounters in the fifth circle of Hell, where the wrathful are punished. Blake's work is characterized by its intricate detail and emotional intensity, reflecting the artist's deep engagement with Dante's text and his own visionary style. The watercolor is part of a larger collection of illustrations that Blake worked on from 1824 to 1827, commissioned by John Linnell, the English painter and patron of Blake's work.

While Blake's Dante series is considered one of his most significant contributions to the visual arts and to the interpretation of Dante's epic poem, "Inferno, Canto VIII, 30-64, Virgil repelling Filippo Argenti from the Boat" is a lesser-known piece within the series. As such, detailed scholarly analysis and information on this specific illustration may be limited compared to other works by Blake. However, the piece remains a valuable example of Blake's engagement with literary themes and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.
