This original graphic by Salvador Dalí belongs to his famous series The Divine Comedy, created between 1951 and 1960 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's birth and published in 1965. The project, consisting of 100 images (one for each canto of Dante's epic poem), is one of Dalí's most ambitious print series.
This work, titled "Dante and Virgil," depicts Dante, accompanied by the Roman poet Virgil, on their spiritual journey through the afterlife. The figures, rendered in expressive blue and warm orange tones, embody both the poetic and surreal qualities that characterize Dalí's interpretation of Dante's masterpiece.
The Divine Comedy series is one of Dalí's most important graphic cycles and remains a sought-after collector's item among international art lovers.
