Empyrean | Gustave Dore | 19th Century
Taxes included
"Empyrean," illustrated by Gustave Doré in the 19th century, is a mesmerizing and ethereal depiction of the highest heaven. The illustration portrays an intricate and luminous celestial scene, with countless angels and divine beings forming concentric circles around a central radiant light. The figures appear to be in a state of rapture, their wings and flowing garments contributing to the dynamic and swirling movement within the composition. At the bottom center, two human figures, likely representing Dante and Beatrice from Dante's "Divine Comedy," stand in awe, gazing upwards towards the blinding source of divine illumination. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, creates a sense of infinite depth and spiritual transcendence, capturing the sublime and otherworldly essence of the Empyrean.
