WILLIAM BLAKE: DANTE`S DIVINE COMEDY
CelebratedĀ around the world as a literary monument, The Divine Comedy, completed in 1321 and written by Dante Alighieri (1265ā1321), is widely considered the greatest work ever composed in the Italian language. The epic poem describes Danteās journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, representing, on a deeper level, the soulās path towards salvation.
In the last few years of his life, Romantic poet and artist William Blake (1757ā1827) produced 102 illustrations for Danteās masterwork, from pencil sketches to finished watercolors. Like Danteās sweeping poem, Blakeās drawings range from scenes of infernal suffering to celestial light, from horrifying human disfigurement to the perfection of physical form. While faithful to the text, Blake also brought his own perspective to some of Danteās central themes.
