The author has studied the original Italian text for over thirty years, bringing a deep familiarity to his seventy-two-piece series. Each piece offers a distinct vision of the literary masterpiece that forms the first part of The Divine Comedy. This work stands as a significant companion to any edition of Dante’s poem, whether in prose or translation. The artwork draws directly from the Christian narrative tradition, positioning itself after The Gospel in cultural importance. Di Durante’s illustrations provide a visual reference for readers engaging with the source material. The collection is notable for its adaptation into animated media. It appeared in the film Dante's Hell Animated, which features Eric Roberts providing the voice of Dante. The entire set is also included in the upcoming production Inferno by Dante. This book suits those seeking a visual companion to Dante’s text or fans of the animated adaptations. It does not offer literary criticism or historical analysis beyond the art itself. The canvas versions of these works command high prices, ranging from five thousand to thirty thousand dollars. This volume provides accessible access to that imagery. Readers interested in detailed commentary on Dante’s life or medieval history may find this collection too narrowly focused on visual representation alone.
