This is a historic woodcut illustration, likely from 1497 as noted at the bottom of the image. It's labeled "CANTO XVII" at the top and appears to be from Dante's Divine Comedy. The image shows a dramatic mountainous landscape with what appears to be Mount Purgatory, marked by terraced levels leading to its peak. There are stars in the sky around the mountain's summit, which appears to be emanating flames or smoke. The scene includes several robed figures in medieval dress positioned at different levels of the mountainous terrain. The illustration is framed by an ornate decorative border featuring Renaissance-style motifs including scrollwork, grotesque faces, urns, and floral patterns. The artwork uses a linear style characteristic of medieval and early Renaissance woodcut prints, with clear outlines and hatching to create texture and depth. The composition draws the eye upward from the figures at the bottom toward the peak of the mountain, emphasizing the spiritual journey that is central to Dante's work.
