Description
Executive Poetics of the Painting Divine Comedy- Canto XVThe Sodomites are the souls of Divine Comedy- Canto XV, eternally condemned to walk in the rain of fire. In order to avoid the flames, the two pilgrims advance along one of the banks of the small river. They come across a damned who grabs Dante by the hem of his garment. The Poet recognizes him immediately, it’s Brunetto Latini, his teacher, who tells him a prophecy. “If you remain true to the principles that have inspired your actions until today, your work will bring you glory.” Virgil is portrayed by the artist with a worried expression for what is happening Dante’s face instead is surprised. Although aware that his teacher in life, while always pursuing the truth and good, has stayed away from it secretly fuel the habit. The Demons are in the background, unable to hit the two visitors, fighting furiously against each other.
