Dante's Divina Commedia
Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divina Commedia has had an
incalculable impact on Western culture, not least through its
inspiration of visual artists. After all, Dante's descriptions of
grotesque figures, fantastic landscapes, and inventive punishments
virtually beg to be depicted visually. Now approximately 1,000 of these
images are available free in Shared Shelf Commons courtesy of Cornell
University Library's Divine Comedy Image Archive (DCIA).
