Surrealist artist Salvador Dali (1904-1989) is known for his artistic landscapes, filled with irrational comparisons and erotic scenes.
This exhibition presents the most ambitious illustrated series of Dali: color woodcuts of the Divine Comedy, an epic poem by medieval Florentine writer Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Written in 1320, this eternal text tells of Dante's journey through Christian other worlds: hell, purgatory and paradise.
