Salvador Dali "Dante and Virgil" from the divine comedy series
Original graphic from Salvador Dalí’s monumental Divine Comedy (1965) illustrating Dante and Virgil in surreal, vibrant tones. In good condition, framed.
This original graphic by Salvador Dalí belongs to his celebrated Divine Comedy series, 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), stands among Dalí’s most ambitious print series.
Titled “Dante and Virgil”, this piece depicts Dante guided by the Roman poet Virgil on their spiritual journey through the afterlife. Rendered in expressive washes of blue and warm orange, the figures embody both the poetic and the surreal qualities that define Dalí’s interpretation of Dante’s masterpiece.
