The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 04 by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 04" by Dante Alighieri is a narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This installment continues Dante's harrowing journey through Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. The work depicts divine justice as souls receive eternal punishment appropriate to their earthly sins. Through terza rima verse, Dante explores the medieval Christian vision of the afterlife, drawing on Catholic theology and philosophy. The
pilgrim's descent represents the soul's recognition and rejection of sin, the first stage in humanity's spiritual journey toward God. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
