  • Painting Description

    ''Dante's Divine Comedy'' by William Blake refers to a series of illustrations created by the English artist, poet, and printmaker William Blake over the period from 1825 to 1827. The work consists of a series of watercolor illustrations that Blake produced for an edition of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem, the ''Divine Comedy''. This literary masterpiece is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, which describe Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil and Beatrice, Dante's ideal woman.

    Blake was commissioned to create these illustrations by John Linnell, the English landscape painter and a patron of Blake's work. The project was ambitious, and Blake intended to create a series of 100 watercolor illustrations. However, by the time of his death in 1827, Blake had completed 102 illustrations for the ''Divine Comedy'', ranging from finished pieces to rough sketches. Blake's illustrations are noted for their interpretation of Dante's narrative, with the artist bringing his own unique vision and style to the epic poem. His work captures the intense and often terrifying scenes of the afterlife as described by Dante, while also reflecting Blake's own views on spirituality and morality.

    Blake's ''Divine Comedy'' illustrations are considered some of his most important and profound works, showcasing his artistic genius and deep engagement with theological and philosophical themes. The illustrations were never published in Blake's lifetime, and the watercolors were only exhibited for the first time in 1911. Today, they are held in various collections, including the British Museum and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. The illustrations are celebrated for their imaginative power and for the way in which they complement and expand upon Dante's text, offering a visual interpretation that is both faithful to the original and characteristically Blakian in its execution.
