EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable representation of the renowned Italian poet Dante Alighieri and the Ptolemaic system. Created by an unknown artist in the 15th century, this miniature artwork is housed in the Biblioteca del Seminario Vescovile in Padua, Italy. The image depicts Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), widely regarded as one of Italy's greatest literary figures, alongside the intricate Ptolemaic system. This manuscript from the 15th century offers a glimpse into both literature and astronomy during that time period. The illuminated miniature beautifully combines elements of geography, poetry, and astronomy. A detailed planisphere can be seen, showcasing various celestial bodies within our solar system. The inclusion of Virgil 70 19 suggests a connection to Dante's epic poem "Divine Comedy" where Virgil serves as his guide through Hell and Purgatory. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical artwork through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. With its rich symbolism and meticulous attention to detail, this piece invites viewers to delve into the intellectual pursuits of medieval Italy while appreciating Dante Alighieri's enduring legacy.
