EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts the final moments of Dante Alighieri's journey through the Divine Comedy, as he ascends to the seventh heaven with his beloved Beatrice. In the XXI Canto of this epic poem, written between 1308 and 1321, Dante's soul is guided by St. Peter and St. Damiano towards the celestial realm. As they approach the sphere of Saturn, an angel clad in a golden robe and a tunica adorned with stars ushers them in. Beatrice, radiant in her ethereal beauty, is shown with an aura and halo, her face filled with serene contemplation. Dante, awestruck by the divine light, gazes upwards, his soul ready to join the celestial spheres. The engraving, created by the renowned artist Gustave Dore in the 19th century, adds a rich layer of detail and depth to this allegorical representation of Dante's spiritual ascent. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print transports us to the medieval world of the Divine Comedy and offers a glimpse into the profound depths of the human soul's journey towards the divine.
