Abandon all the hope, ye who enter here Painting

Abandon all the hope, ye who enter here 2008 In this work I was influenced by Dante Alighieri and his Divine Comedy, the most important poem of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. Dante Alighieri used this proverb in Inferno, part one of three of the epic poem, Divine Comedy. The full epic, published in 1472, follows Dante’s journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. This proverb is inscribed above the gates of Hell. The original Italian version of the phrase reads, Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate. The English all hope abandon, ye who enter here comes from an 1814 translation of Divine Comedy, this later became rearranged into its most common form today.
