Salvador Dalí. 100 gravats que il·lustren La divina comèdia

Exhibition of one hundred prints by Salvador Dalí illustrating Dante's La divina comedia, created from watercolours the artist made on commission from the Italian government.

The exhibition brings together one hundred prints by Salvador Dalí inspired by Dante's La divina comedia. Before becoming woodcuts, the images were one hundred original watercolours, commissioned from the artist by the Italian government to commemorate the seventh centenary of the poet's birth. Dalí devoted about ten years to this work.

The illustrations follow Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, accompanied by Virgil as his guide, sent at the behest of Beatrice. The watercolours are divided into thirty-four devoted to Hell and thirty-three to each of the other two parts.

The exhibition is presented at La Factoria Cultural - LaFACT, an exhibition and cultural activities venue in Terrassa. A tour of the galleries allows visitors to follow the complete sequence of the three parts of the journey, from the first scene to the last.
