The artwork titled “Saturn” is an illustration by artist Gustave Doré, which belongs to the Romanticism art movement. This piece is part of Doré’s series of illustrations for “The Divine Comedy.”
In the artwork, a celestial scene unfolds, centered on a radiant staircase of light that ascends through billowing clouds. The focal point is the multitude of ethereal, angelic figures gracefully ascending the luminous staircase, bathed in divine light. Below them, two robed individuals, likely the protagonists of “The Divine Comedy,” stand in awe, looking upwards at the heavenly procession. The overall composition is marked by dramatic contrasts between light and dark, enhancing the transcendental and sublime atmosphere characteristic of Romanticism.
