"Heaven Canto 12" by Salvador Dalí is a woodblock engraving created in 1960, sized at 13 x 10.5 inches. This piece is part of Dalí's interpretation of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, illustrating scenes of the afterlife where Vergil guides Dante through Hell and Purgatory, and Beatrice through Paradise.
Originally intended for a special edition of the Divine Comedy by the Italian government, Dalí's illustrations faced opposition from Communists who protested against a Spaniard illustrating Italy's esteemed poet. Consequently, the government decided to issue commemorative postage stamps instead.
Despite being unsigned, this woodblock engraving is in excellent condition and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, verifying its legitimacy and historical significance. It offers collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a piece that merges literature with surrealism, showcasing Dalí's distinctive artistic vision and his contribution to cultural heritage.
