EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first page of the Divine Comedy, a renowned codex preserved in the National Library of Florence. Meticulously miniated by Attavante degli Attavanti during the Early Renaissance period, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Europe's rich cultural heritage. The photograph was taken in 2002, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail and stroke on this masterpiece that dates back to around 1485-1487. Attavante degli Attavanti, an incredibly talented artist, skillfully brings Dante Alighieri's epic poem to life through his illuminations. In this image, we can see an inscription written with great precision using a traditional writing instrument. It symbolizes not only communication but also represents the profound impact that poetry has had on humanistic disciplines throughout history. A prominent figure depicted here is a putto, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the composition. The frieze surrounding it further enhances its artistic value and serves as a testament to the craftsmanship prevalent during both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Additionally, various objects such as crests, emblems, brands, and shields are intricately incorporated into this early Renaissance piece. These elements reflect Europe's historical context from both the first and second millenniums A. D. , showcasing how art intertwines with societal developments over time. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this extraordinary artwork through their lens while ensuring its preservation for future generations. This print allows us to admire not just an exquisite work of literature but also appreciate its visual representation as an invaluable part of our collective cultural heritage.
