Di Durante, Dino

"The Divine Comedy is one of the most "visual" poems in the history of Literature, and from its first appearance in manuscripts and codices the text was often accompanied by miniatures illustrating its most famous episodes. Dino Di Durante is the last of a long and illustrious list of artists who have illustrated Dante's poem. His paintings are not just illustrations of characters and/or episodes, but such is their power that they become actual visual interpretations of the text itself."
