EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Entrance of the Underworld" from Dante Alighieri's renowned literary masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy". Created by an unknown artist in the 14th century, this miniature manuscript is housed in the Bibl. Municipal of Rimini, Italy. In this intricate artwork, we are transported to a haunting scene where souls embark on their journey through hell. A small boat navigates the dark and treacherous waters, guided by a devilish figure standing at its helm. The boat carries human figures who appear both fearful and resigned to their fate. Surrounding this eerie transport vehicle is a towering castle that serves as the gateway to damnation. Its imposing presence adds to the sense of foreboding and despair depicted in Dante's vivid descriptions. The illumination technique employed in this miniature brings forth every detail with remarkable clarity. From the expressive portraits of tormented souls to the meticulous rendering of architectural elements, each stroke contributes to capturing the essence of Dante's vision. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of Dante Alighieri's profound exploration into human nature and morality. This visual interpretation offers us a glimpse into his poetic genius while immersing us in an era characterized by castles and dwellings that define medieval Italian culture. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures all these elements through his lens, preserving for eternity not only Dante's artistic legacy but also our fascination with his timeless tale.
