"Heaven Canto 5" by Salvador Dalí is a woodblock engraving created between 1960 and 1964, measuring 13 x 10.25 inches. This artwork portrays scenes from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, depicting Vergil guiding Dante through Hell and Purgatory, and Beatrice through Paradise.
Originally intended for a special edition of the Divine Comedy by the Italian government, which planned to feature Dalí's illustrations, the project faced opposition from Communists who objected to a Spaniard illustrating Italy's revered poet. As a compromise, the government opted to release commemorative postage stamps instead.
This woodblock engraving is in excellent condition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its legitimacy and provenance. Though unsigned, its historical significance and association with one of literature's seminal works make it a notable piece among collectors and enthusiasts of Dalí's distinctive artistic interpretations.
