EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound introspection and enlightenment. In the artwork titled "Paradiso, Canto 26: St John examines Dante concerning love" we witness an illustration from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Created by Gustave Dore in 1885 and digitally colored, this engraving beautifully depicts the encounter between St John and Dante as they delve into the depths of love. The scene is set amidst a heavenly backdrop, with clouds enveloping the figures in an ethereal embrace. St John, adorned with a radiant aureola, gazes intently at Dante while engaging him in deep conversation. As one of Christ's apostles and known for his profound understanding of divine love, St John seeks to enlighten Dante on this intricate subject. Dante himself appears humble yet eager to absorb every word spoken by his spiritual guide. His expression reflects a mix of curiosity and reverence as he listens attentively to St John's teachings. This interaction symbolizes not only their intellectual exchange but also represents the poet's personal journey towards achieving spiritual enlightenment. The artist Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this pivotal moment from The Divine Comedy through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of color. Through this visually stunning print, viewers are invited to contemplate the complexities of love and its significance within our own lives. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that true wisdom lies not only in seeking knowledge but also in embracing divine guidance on matters as profound as love itself.
