About the Item

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - The Inferno, Canto 12 - The Minotaur Woodcut print from 1960. Dimensions of sheet: 33 x 26.2 cm Dimensions in frame: 53.2 x 43.2 cm Publisher: Les Heures Claires, Paris. Reference: Catalogue raisonne Michler & Lopsinger no. 1073 -- This evocative print is part of Salvador Dalí’s legendary Divine Comedy series — a monumental suite of 100 wood engravings illustrating Dante Alighieri’s epic poem. Originally commissioned by the Italian government in 1950 to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Dante’s birth, the project was initially met with controversy when the public objected to a Spaniard being chosen to honor Italy’s national poet. Despite the withdrawal of the official commission, Dalí remained deeply invested in the project and completed the entire cycle over the next decade. Dalí’s interpretation of The Divine Comedy is widely recognized as one of the most imaginative and surreal. Working with the French publisher Les Heures Claires, Dalí created watercolor paintings which were then masterfully translated into wood engravings — a process that involved more than 3,000 hand-carved blocks by expert artisans to capture the vibrancy and detail of his vision. The work is in Excellent condition. Fast and secure shipment.
