#Dante Alighieri

The art hanging on the Devil Hunters' Bureau wall is one of the Doré Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy. The Illustrations by Gustave Dore (1832-1883) depict the passion and grandeur of Dante's masterpiece ― from the depths of Hell onto the mountain of Purgatory and up to the empyrean realms of Paradise.

As one critic wrote in 1861 upon publication of the illustrated Inferno: "we are inclined to believe that the conception and the interpretation come from the same source, that Dante and Gustave Doré are communicating by occult and solemn conversations the secret of this Hell plowed by their souls, traveled, explored by them in every sense."
