Gustave Doré's depiction of Canto VII of
Dante's
Inferno, the first part of the
Divine Comedy. Here, we see the fourth circle (out of nine) of
Hell, in which
hoarders and
wasters are forced to move around giant bags of gold, similar to the mythological story of
Sisyphus. Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards
God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of
sin.Restoration:
