Rachel Owen: Illustrations for Dante’s ‘Inferno’
Rachel Owen's hauntingly beautiful illustrations for Dante's 'Inferno' take a radically new approach to representing the world of Dante's famous poem. The images combine the artist's deep cultural and historical understanding of 'The Divine Comedy' and its artistic legacy with her unique talent for collage and printmaking.
