EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning lettrine "p" from a manuscript of the "Divine Comedy", specifically the incipit of "Purgatory". Created by an unknown artist in the 14th century, this exquisite illumination depicts none other than Dante Alighieri himself. Housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Lombardy, Italy, this artwork is a true testament to the rich literary and artistic history of the region. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life Dante's iconic portrait, capturing his essence as one of Italy's most celebrated poets. As we delve into the Middle Ages through this medium age masterpiece, we are transported back in time to experience Dante's profound journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this remarkable piece with his lens, preserving its beauty for all to admire. The composition not only highlights every delicate brushstroke but also evokes a sense of wonder and awe that can only be felt when encountering such masterful artistry. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Dante Alighieri's enduring legacy and his contribution to Italian literature. This photograph serves as both a visual delight and a historical treasure—a window into an era long gone yet forever imprinted on our cultural heritage.
