Date 1824 - 1827
Medium pen, ink and watercolour over pencil (NGV 8)
National Gallery of Victoria
Notes
English: Inferno VII, 106-26. Dante and Virgil enter the fifth circle of Hell and come to the Stygian marsh or Styx, in which they see the Wrathful and the Sullen smiting each other not just with their hands but also with their heads, bodies and feet; the sobs of those below the water make its surface bubble.
