For those viewing Kenrnest63's work who would like some background on what's going on:
http://bulfinch.englishatheist.org/dante/hell/hellindex.htm Full text English translation in verse form, a bit difficult to read because it's very formal old-style English along the lines of King James Version biblical text
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante's_Inferno a very minimal summary, but helpful for locating which canto is being dealt with
Both together are a great help in appreciating and understanding Ken's magnificent paintings.
