“What is going on here? In the third circle of Kozachok’s Inferno, we find the realm of Gluttony. After a life of over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, the souls who land in this circle of hell, are now symbolically and literally becoming a never ending supply of food for the smaller creatures.

[. . .]

“‘Kozachok’s Inferno’ is a personal version, a customized representation of the 9 circles of hell, influenced by Dante’s Inferno, the first part of Dante’s Divine Comedy, which is a long Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321. It is not a direct reproduction of Dante’s Inferno, I do not follow the accuracy of those layers or circles of hell, except the main theme (eg circle of Lust, of Gluttony, of Greed etc), but the reasons and punishments of each circle of hell will be different in my version.” [. . .]    –@kozachok, SuperRare, 2019

divine-comedy-nft-screenshot“THΞ DIVINΞ COMΞDY project consists of 700 NFTs with randomly combined Canti of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso as a celebration of the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death.

“The Divine Comedy represents a 14th-century vision of the afterlife, describing Dante’s journey through the three realms of the dead: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Today Dante’s masterpiece is widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.
