Detail of Inferno Moderno by hugh man on Flickr. Click for full image.
Shown here is a dramatic photo montage created by Flickr member hugh man. The title “inferno moderno” is probably derived from the Bouguereau painting in the background, Dante et Virgile aux Enfers (Dante and Virgil in Hell, 1850). The picture caption “Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!” is a quote from Arthur Rimbaud.
Below you can compare the original Bouguereau painting with the remastered version. Click to visit the gallery where you will find many more contemporary versions of Bouguereau’s masterpiece.
