Bernard Buffet's haunting series of works inspired by Dante's *Inferno* showcases the artist's signature angular, expressive style to evoke the torment and despair of the underworld. Each piece, rendered with Buffet's characteristically stark, jagged linework, depicts the anguished figures of the damned and the imposing presence of Hell's angel with a raw, unsettling intensity. Personally dedicated in pencil "Pour Madeleine Lacourière affectueusement," these works carry an intimate quality that contrasts poignantly with their dark and dramatic subject matter.
