The work by Dore is what you think of when you imagine Dante’s Divine Comedy. The comments of some should be completely disregarded and the work seen for what it is; Classic work, on Classical themes, done very well.

The Illustrations from the 1st canto in the Inferno to the last of Paradiso are great because they help as a visual aid when reading the Divina Commedia. One can really see how and in which ways Dore, when he design the illustrations, followed the text very closely.
