Milton and Dante's Visions of Hell (signed)

$10.00

Inside the pages of this book you will find the wonderfully macabre world that artist Ian Van Gemert has created, inspired by the works of John Milton and Dante Alighieri. Through meticulously detailed sketches you will come face to face with Satan’s fall from Heaven, his temptation in the Garden of Eden, and the subsequent banishment of Adam and Eve from Paradise. You will journey with the poet Dante as he traverses the Nine Circles of Hell as his penance for straying from the righteous path. In undertaking this journey you will come to realize that these artworks are a reflection of a world that lies beneath what we see and hear and feel. They are a representation of an inner darkness, of the paths that we ourselves fear to tread. It is not for the faint of heart, for if you look deep enough at the images within you might just see yourself staring back. Welcome to the fourth exhibition of acclaimed artist Ian Van Gemert. Don’t be afraid to close your eyes, but do be afraid to truly open them!
