Salvador Dalì - Original board – "La sirena del sogno" Divine Comedy Purgatorio Canto XIX (19).
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".
The work has been professionally framed in a stunning dark bronze frame with double contrasting mount.
Subject of the Canto: In the IV terrace: Dante's dream (stuttering female). The angel of concern; ascent to the V terrace. The souls of the greedy and prodigal. Meeting with Pope Adrian V.
Size of framed work: 37 x 45 cm
Please note: The photograph of the work may have colors that differ from those shown on the display. The boards may display slight marks or stains due to aging of the paper. This aspect in no way affects the value of the work.
