About the Artwork

Booteen’s 7th Circle coin depicts a silent, contrite Minotaur, sitting seemingly contemplative of his actions. It is a re-imagination of the original tale, in which the Minotaur becomes aware of his violent ways after Dante and Virgil have escaped his guard, and he is now remorseful of his ways that led him to his failure of duty.

 He sits on his brimstone throne, with a shield alluding to a defensive stance, instead of a weapon of aggression, oblivious to and surrounded by the souls he was charged to torment. Weighed down by the realization of his true nature, and the irony of his guardianship. This re-imagination of the tale is a stark reminder of our own fallacies; the consequences of giving in to our impulses and anger.
