EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a stunning portrait of Dante Alighieri, the renowned Italian poet, as depicted by the talented British sculptor, Laurence Irving. The image is derived from the French play "Dante" by Victorien Sardou and E. Moreau, which was adapted for the stage tour in 1903. The original poster design, featuring a brighter golden yellow background, has been skillfully adapted for this print. The sculpture, expertly crafted in marble or stone, captures the stern and introspective nature of Dante's character. His sunken eyes, with their deep, soulful expression, convey a sense of profound wisdom and contemplation. The long, prominent nose and the intricately tied ribbon around his hat add to the authenticity of the portrait. The engraved details on the statue further highlight the theatrical and popular entertainment value of the production. Laurence Irving, born on April 11, 1897, and passed away on October 23, 1988, was a prolific sculptor, best known for his works in the field of theatrical design. His interpretation of Dante's portrait, with its striking features and intricate details, continues to captivate audiences and art enthusiasts alike, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
