WILLIAM BLAKE'S ILLUSTRATIONS FOR CARY'S TRANSLATION OF DANTE [DATE?]  ...The two I mark'd that sat /Propp'd 'gainst each other
Plate VI. Cary's Dante - Hell; Canto xxix line 71. 242 x 335mm. [The Circle of the Falsifiers - Griffolino and Capocchio. Dante and Virgil descend together a bridge of petrified human forms. Below them the two sinners, sitting back to back upon a heap of suffering bodies, scratch themselves. Other falsifiers wallow in a ditch or writhe upon its brink. A second bridge of tortured human bodies passes out of the design to the left. In the background is a vast mountain. A.G.B.Russell (permission being sought)] About this Series
