CHARLES GOGIN (BRITISH 1844-1931) CHARLES GOGIN (BRITISH 1844-1931) Dante's first meeting with virgil in Hell (Inferno Canto I) monogrammed and dated 'C G/1895' (lower right) signed and inscribed 'For the Guildhall, London', further titled on the reverse oil on board 50 x 32 cm In the middle of the journey of his life, Dante finds himself lost in a dark wood, and he cannot find the straight path. He cannot remember how he wandered away from his true path that he should be following, but he is in a fearful place, impenetrable and wild. He looks up from this dismal valley and sees the sun shining on the hilltop. After resting for a moment, he begins to climb the hill towards the light, but he is suddenly confronted by a leopard, which blocks his way and he turns to evade it. Then a hungry lion appears more fearful than the leopard, but a "she-wolf" comes forward and drives Dante back down into the darkness of the valley.
