William Blake. Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy’. The Complete Drawings: The Complete Drawings Dante's Divine Comedy

Wonderful book everything as it should be ...stunning and informative

If you like either William Blake or Dantes Inferno this is a must buy. It is an amazing book for the price and reproduces the artwork beautifully. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Simply the most beautiful book I have ever known. I have loved the engravings of William Blake for many years, as well as his poetry. The Divine Comedy I often dip into and love the Gustave Dore illustrations. Here we have those of Blake, beautifully reproduced on quality paper. Also many reproductions of various Illuminated Manuscripts. Quite wonderful. The text is quite small for my own poor eyes but no matter. A bargain beyond belief.

2021 being the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante, I have been re-reading the 'Divine Comedy' after many years. I highly recommend it. I wanted to get a book that collects all of Blake's illustrations to Dante's text, and this book does exactly that. It includes all the finished works, as well as those left unfinished by Blake, but which are still worth viewing. Some of the illustrations feature enlarged sections of detail as well as the complete picture, and the work really is probably equal to anything else Bake did.

Really impressive book for the price. Came in film wrap so no knocks or creases in transit. Definitely worth having on bookshelf.

Stunningly beautiful book. Amazing quality and value. A lifelong resource.

A very good representation of all the Blake illustrations to the Divine Comedy.

Fast delivery, great book, good price. Best present for myself. Thank you.

EXCELENTE DICION, BUEN MATERIAL, MUY BIEN ILUSTRADO CON LAS OBRAS DE BLAKE. MUY RECOMENDABLE

I love this book, It arrived quickly and well packed. Contains beautiful well printed artistic images, good quality paper and a nice strong cover. The text is explicative of the story. Nice to look at right now and can read the text later. I strongly recommend it, In addition,I bought the text book "The Divine Comedy" to go with it.

Excelente!

Interesante ver cómo Blake interpreta una visión de Dios que es diametralmente opuesta a la suya. Se trata de la última obra que no llegó a completarla, algunos están inacabados, otros apenas esbozados, pero contiene valiosas acuarelas. La asunción central de la Divina Commedia es que Dios es un ser transcendente al mundo, y en consecuencia, el arte no puede expresar la omnipotencia ni la gloria de Dios; una asunción que Blake rechaza de plano. Las acuarelas de Blake seguramente fueron diseñadas para “corregir” algunos aspectos de la teología de Dante, que no compartía Blake. La edición es magnífica.

詩人にして幻想画家であるウィリアム・ブレイクがダンテの「神曲：地獄編」に触発されて描いた絵画とスケッチを集めた画集である。圧倒的な表現とときに極端なデフォルメが「神曲」の世界を鮮やかに映像化している。色あせない魅力をたたえる絵が一覧できる。
