Edition: LIMITED
"Heaven Canto 4" by Salvador Dalí is a woodblock print created between 1960 and 1964, sized at 13 x 10 inches. This artwork, depicting scenes from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, specifically focuses on the afterlife where Vergil guides Dante through Hell and Purgatory, and Beatrice through Paradise.
Originally intended for a special edition of Divine Comedy by the Italian government, which planned to include Dalí's illustrations, the project faced opposition from Communists who protested an outsider illustrating Italy's great poet. As a result, the government opted to issue commemorative postage stamps instead.
This woodblock print is in excellent condition, reflecting Dalí's intricate and symbolic style. Though unsigned, its historical significance and association with one of literature's greatest works make it a coveted piece among collectors and admirers of Dalí's visionary art.
