Gustave Doré - Dante Alighieri - Inferno - Plate 18 (Canto V - Dante has a touch of the vapours)

description

Summary

Gustave Doré's illustration to Dante's Inferno. Plate XVIII: Canto V: Dante is so overcome by the sad tale of Francesca di Rimini that he faints. Yes really. And he fainted as he was being brought into Limbo, too. What is this, a romance novel? Let's check the text: "I swooned away as if I had been dying, / And fell, even as a dead body falls." (Longfellow translation) - Guess so, then.
