Salvador Dali (Spanish 1904-1989) PRAYER OF SAINT BERNARD FROM THE DIVINE COMEDY SERIES (1964) authenticated by Frank Hunter of the Salvador Dali Archives Ltd/New York on the reverse woodblock sheet size: 25,5 by 17cm DALI - ‘PARADISO 33’ “May your protection curb his mortal passions. See Beatrice - how many saints with her! They join my prayers! They clasp their hands to you!"1Eccentric and imaginative, Salvador Dali’s repertoire extended far beyond his painting. In the 1950s, Dali was commissioned by the Italian Minister of Culture to illustrate a special edition of Dante’s Divine Comedy, which was released on the 700th Anniversary of Dante’s birth in 1965. The Divine Comedy Suite is made up of 100 colour woodcuts produced between 1960 and 1964.2The imagery that Dali created for Paradiso 33, the final canto of Dante's work, depicts three figures in prayer, possibly representing Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise. Dali’s ethereal illustrations for the suite complement Dante’s text beautifully. The illustrations were originally slipped into folded sheets on which the text was typeset so that the illustrations could be viewed alongside the text. This particular work which is printed on watermarked BFK Rives paper has been authenticated by Frank Hunter of The Salvador Dali Archives Ltd in New York, and is signed by Frank Hunter on the reverse. - T.W.1.
