Description: This is a color wood engraving by Salvador Dalí, created in 1964 as part of his illustrations for Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. The image depicts a tormented figure, Vanni Fucci, twisting in agony, with a faint, ghostly figure, likely Dante or Virgil, in the background. The scene is from the Canto XXIV of Inferno, where Fucci is punished among the thieves in the Eighth Circle of Hell. The style is characteristic of Dalí's surrealist approach, blending distorted figures and dreamlike imagery with the classical subject matter.
