Dante and the Three Kingdoms
Title:
Dante and the Three Kingdoms
Description:
Domenico di Michelino, Dante and the Three Kingdoms, (1465). This painting illustrates key details from Dante’s life and work. We find Dante with the Comedy in hand, outside the walls of his beloved city, representing his exile in 1302 which lasted until his death in 1321. On the far left, the damned souls of the Inferno are tormented by demons; behind Dante, the mountain of Purgatory, filled with penitent spirits, rises to meet the sky where defined arcs, dotted with stars, invoke the realms of Paradise.
