Specialist Notes
Beautiful limited edition copy printed by Stamperia Valdonega of Verona on handmade paper by Fratelli Magnani of Pescia. The color woodcuts that embellish the work were undoubtedly Dalì's most important illustrative work. The iconographic apparatus is composed of 100 plates, measuring 355 x 280 mm. It took 5 years of work, from 1960 to 1964, to engrave the 3500 woodcuts to progressively print the 35 colors of each individual plate; the work of engraving the wood plates was carried out by Maestro Raymond Jacquet under the direct supervision of Salvador Dalì who poured, in illustrating the Divine Comedy, the most relevant motifs of his metaphysical and mystical research.
