Through Dante’s Eyes: Artistic Italy in the Age of the Commedia
Description
The volume Through Dante’s Eyes: Artistic Italy in the Age of the Commedia explores Italy in the time of Dante Alighieri through the art, architecture, and visual culture of the 13th and 14th centuries — the symbolic and visual context in which the Divine Comedy was conceived and developed.
In essence, the book (and the exhibition) invites readers to view medieval Italy “through Dante’s eyes,” reconstructing the world of images, cities, and symbols that the poet knew and that inspired his imagination.
