EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dante in search of peace" takes us back to the medieval era, specifically the 14th century. The image depicts Dante Alighieri, an esteemed Italian writer and poet, visiting the Monastery of St Croce del Cirvo after being banished from his beloved city of Florence in 1302. In this illustration for "The World's Great Books" edited by Arthur Mee and J. A. Hammerton around 1910, we see Dante wearing a cloak as he stands at the monastery door. His face reflects a sense of longing and determination as he knocks on the door, seeking solace during his exile. The artist Stephen Reid beautifully captures the essence of Dante's journey through his use of vibrant colors in this lithograph. The rich hues evoke a sense of hope amidst despair, highlighting Dante's quest for inner peace amid turmoil. As one gazes upon this print, it is impossible not to be transported to another time and place – Italy during the late 14th century. It serves as a reminder that even great literary figures like Dante faced challenges and sought refuge in their pursuit of creativity and enlightenment. This image not only celebrates Dante Alighieri but also pays homage to all writers who have experienced banishment or adversity throughout history. It reminds us that literature has always been intertwined with human struggles and triumphs – an eternal source of inspiration for generations to come.
