Salvador Dali's 80 watercolors for the Divine Comedy - stunning exhibition in Rome

Of course, I could not miss this unique and unrepeatable event that the Infantry Museum in Rome organized. A great exhibition on the great artist Salvador Dali founder of the artistic current of Surrealism.

I found myself in front of Dali's fantastic paintings, sculptures and engravings but especially the wonderful and dreamlike watercolors illustrating the Divine Comedy in the imaginary journey that Dante takes.

Salvador Dali puts us in front of the three parts, of the monumental work, hell, purgatory and heaven. of the monumental work, illustrated in watercolor with his style, imaginative, ironic and surreal.

I want to point out that the watercolor illustrations for the Divine Comedy were commissioned from the Catalan artist by the Italian government, which in 1950 commemorated the 700th anniversary of the birth of the supreme poet, Dante Alighieri.

I emphasize that I had the great opportunity to be able to photograph the works with my cell phone without anyone around because I am an art history teacher and got preferential treatment.

Some of the photos have reflections due to the protective glass of the works.
Enjoy viewing.
