EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Dante Alighieri, an iconic Italian poet born in Florence during the medieval era. Renowned for his magnum opus, "La Divina Commedia" or "Divine Comedy". Dante's literary masterpiece is hailed as one of the greatest works ever written in the Italian language and a true world treasure. The image captures a European statue that pays homage to this literary genius, whose influence on literature and thought cannot be overstated. Dante's profound exploration of theology, literature, and philosophy within his epic poem offers readers a comprehensive survey of medieval knowledge.
