About this work

Two robed figures stand on a dark rise above a misty, frozen expanse where nude souls lie half-submerged in ice. The figure on the left wears a blue cloak and laurel wreath, while the one on the right wears a red hood and robe, both set against a shadowed sky. This 1861 painting by Gustave Doré depicts Dante and Virgil in the Ninth Circle of Hell.
