In 1988, Vincent R. Latella took on the task of painting a series of illustrations depicting key moments from Dante's Inferno. Completed in 1990, the series is made up of 34 paintings, one for each canto. The book contains reproductions of each painting accompanied by the excerpts from the Inferno which inspired them, in both the original Italian and English translations. Also included is a 31-page essay by Dante scholar, Dr. Anne Paolucci, entitled, "The Strident Voices of Hell."
