HEAVEN CANTO 9 BY SALVADOR DALI
Size: 13 X 10 INCHES
Year: 1960-1964
Medium: WOODBLOCK
Edition: LIMITED
"Heaven Canto 9" by Salvador Dalí is a woodblock print created between 1960 and 1964, sized at 13 x 10 inches. This artwork is a 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. As a result, the government opted to issue commemorative postage stamps instead.
This woodblock print is in excellent condition, despite being unsigned. Its historical significance and association with one of literature's greatest works make it a valuable piece for collectors interested in Dalí's unique artistic vision and contributions to cultural and literary heritage.
