Original board by Salvador Dalì – “Il Minotauro” Divine Comedy Inferno Canto XII (12).
Original board created using woodcut technique in color on BFK Rives paper. The board comes from the most important body of illustrative work ever made by the great Spanish master. This work is one of 100 boards from the three canticles, Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.
Dalì took ten years - from 1950 to 1959 - to complete these boards, presenting them to the public in 1960 at the Palais Gallièra in Paris. The boards were made mainly using watercolor with additions in pen in an interpretation and reinvention of what the lines of the 'Divine Comedy' aroused in Dalí's visionary imagination. The result is shapes and colors that are both grotesque, irreverent, ironic, dramatic, sensual, ecstatic, allegorical and even graceful and sublime.
When discussing his woodcuts dedicated to The Divine Comedy, Salvador Dalí said "I wanted my illustrations for Dante to be like slight marks of moisture on a divine cheese. Hence their multicolored butterfly-winged appearance".
Subject of the Canto: Entry into the VII Circle. Meeting with the Minotaur. Entry into the first ring, where people who are violent to others are punished, immersed in the river of blood Flegetonte. Meeting with the centaurs, including Chiron, Folo and Nessus. Nessus carries Dante on his back and shows him tyrants, murderers and marauders, then wades across the river and places Dante on the opposite bank.
Size of framed work: 37 x 45 cm
