La Divine Comédie: Illustrations de Dalí
By Wolfgang Everling

Verlag Dante-2000.de Hamburg ISBN: 3000118535 Paperback £32.00

Salvador Dalí’s reinterpretation of Dante’s spectacular Divine Comedy is considered by many to have been his most incredible and notable work. For the last six hundred years, the Divine Comedy has drawn people with its outreaching verse and imagery, and has been illustrated throughout history by such notable artists as Boticelli, Flaxman, Dore and even the poet William Blake. No other poem in any language has had such a wide appeal as the interest created by Dante’s imaginary journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise.

Designed to serve as an exhibition catalogue commemorating the centenary of Dalí’s birth, this book presents the complete collection of Dalí’s 102 watercolours, and demonstrates how each of these illustrations corresponds to a specific passage in Dante’s poem, tribute to the Surreal Master’s unique vision of this classic text through his own vivid imagination.
