Flaxman's Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy (Dover Books on Fine Art)

Commissioned at the end of the 18th century by famed art collector and author Thomas Hope, these 110 deceptively simple illustrations are the great achievement of John Flaxman, English sculptor, draughtsman, and contemporary of William Blake. Awash in pathos and recalling a classically Greek style, they have inspired such artists as Goya and Ingres.
