The Dark Forest

The Dark Forest is a digital artwork from the Dante’s Italy collection, depicting the ominous and twisted woodland that symbolizes Dante’s state of despair at the beginning of Inferno. The dense, gnarled trees stretch endlessly, their roots and branches interwoven with the tortured souls trapped within them. A lone figure, cloaked in darkness, stands at the threshold, facing the unknown depths of the forest—a visual metaphor for Dante’s journey into the underworld.

Rendered in a haunting monochrome style, this illustration captures the eerie, oppressive atmosphere of Canto I of Inferno, where Dante loses his way in a shadowy, menacing forest, symbolizing spiritual confusion and the descent into sin.
