The artwork is based on Dante’s Inferno and presents a darker interpretation of the theme. It won a silver medal at the 1887 Exposicion General de las Islas Filipinas in Madrid. The painting can be related to “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions” as it invokes the idea of the afterlife and the consequences of one’s actions, emphasizing the importance of moral and ethical conduct in society. These artworks collectively underscore the significance of human rights, social justice, and the rule of law, which are fundamental to the concept of “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions” as outlined in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. They serve as powerful reminders of our collective responsibility to foster a just and peaceful society.
