Dalí, Salvador. - Dante (Alighieri). La Divine Comédie, dans la traduction de Julien Brizeux. Six volumes. With 100 coloured wood engravings according to watercolors by S. Dalí. 35 x 27,5 cm. Loose bows in envelopes and oschubers (these with slight signs of wear). Paris, Éditions d'art le heures claires, 1963. Monod 3398. – One of 3899 copies on Vélin (total edition: 4765). The production and equipment of this monumental episode were taken over by the studios Jacquet and Daragnas. The illustrations of Dante's Divine Comedy are among the most beautiful book illustrations of Salvador Dalís (1904-1989). With them, the artist created a first-class painter's book that permeates the poet's verses in deep psychological soul landscapes full of light and greatness. "Dalí himself saw this work as one of the peaks of his creative powers" (cf. Cat. Dexia, Exposition Dalí, Namur, Juin-Juillet 2005).
