EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned Italian poet, Dante Alighieri, captured in exquisite detail by Cristofano dell'Altissimo and his workshop around 1560. Measuring 74.5 x 63 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) emerges from the canvas with an air of intellectual prowess and poetic brilliance. The artist skillfully depicts him in a profile view, emphasizing his sharp features and contemplative expression. Adorned with a distinctive medieval hat that adds to his scholarly aura, Dante's presence exudes wisdom and depth. As one of the most celebrated figures of the late Middle Ages, Dante's contribution to literature cannot be overstated. His magnum opus, "The Divine Comedy" serves as a cornerstone of Western literature even today. This portrait series was part of Renaissance historian Paolo Giovio's collection—a testament to Dante's enduring influence on generations past and present. Through this painting, we are transported back to Florence during the Renaissance era—an age marked by artistic innovation and cultural enlightenment. Dell'Altissimo masterfully captures not only Dante's physical likeness but also his literary essence—the very soul that breathed life into works like "Inferno" "Purgatorio" and "Paradiso". With every brushstroke meticulously applied by Bridgeman Images for this fine art print reproduction, viewers can now bring home a piece of history
