EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "St Peter, Paradise, Canto 24" by the renowned artist John Flaxman. The artwork is part of his series called Illustrations of The Divine Poem of Dante Alighieri and was published in 1867. Flaxman's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this digitally cleaned image, which brings out the beauty and depth of St Peter's depiction. The engraving captures a pivotal moment from Dante Alighieri's epic poem, "The Divine Comedy" specifically from the section known as Paradiso. In Canto 24, we witness St Peter himself within the heavenly realm. His serene expression exudes wisdom and grace as he stands amidst a celestial backdrop.

Through its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate Flaxman's artistic genius while immersing ourselves in the rich cultural tapestry woven by Dante Alighieri’s poetry.
