the artist was Gustav Dore..
Google Dover Publications, go to art books, and type in Dore. He illustrated several Dante works.

The original illustrations for Dante`s Divine Comedy were not paintings but ink drawn illustrations that were printed within the framework of the book.
If I remember right the artist, perhaps because of fear of religious persecution by the Catholic Church, was not mentioned and given credit for those illustrations.
Of course, there have been many versions, in many re-prints, of all of Dante's works since then. So, unless you can provide us with which edition you are referring to, it would be hard to give you the right answer.

Which edition of Dante`s Divine Comedy are you interested in finding out who was the visual artist? I don't mean which book (Inferno, Purgatory, or Paradise), I mean which edition?
