"The Six Footed Serpent Attacking Agnolo Brunelleschi" is an illustration by the English artist and poet William Blake, created as part of his series of artworks inspired by Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy." Blake began working on these illustrations in 1824, a project commissioned by John Linnell, an admirer of Blake's work. Although Blake intended to produce a series of 100 watercolor illustrations for the poem, he completed only 102 designs before his death in 1827.

This particular illustration is notable for its depiction of a dramatic scene from "Inferno," the first part of "The Divine Comedy," where Dante encounters various tormented souls in Hell. The image portrays the moment when a six-footed serpent attacks Agnolo Brunelleschi, a figure who may represent the architect of the same name, although some scholars debate the identification. The serpent, a symbol of sin and evil, is shown in a dynamic and terrifying act, capturing the intensity and horror of Dante's infernal vision.

Blake's illustrations for "The Divine Comedy" are celebrated for their imaginative power and the way they capture the spiritual and moral themes of Dante's work. "The Six Footed Serpent Attacking Agnolo Brunelleschi" exemplifies Blake's unique style, characterized by expressive figures, dramatic compositions, and a profound engagement with the text's allegorical significance. The illustration is part of a larger collection held by institutions such as the British Museum and the Tate Gallery, which preserves the legacy of Blake's visionary approach to art and literature.
