EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St. Peter, St. James, Dante and Beatrice with St. John Also from 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri" is a stunning representation of William Blake's artistic genius. Created between 1824-27 using pen, ink, watercolor over pencil on paper, this masterpiece measures 36.5x52 cm and belongs to a private collection. Blake's illustration beautifully captures the essence of Paradiso XXV from Dante Alighieri's epic poem "The Divine Comedy". The scene depicts four prominent figures: St. Peter, St. James, Dante himself, and his beloved muse Beatrice alongside St. John. Set against a heavenly backdrop of concentric spheres representing different levels of paradise, the artwork exudes an ethereal aura that transports viewers into the realm of divine beauty and spirituality. Each character is meticulously portrayed with intricate details - their expressions filled with faith and love as they gaze upon the celestial wonders surrounding them. The flowing robes and majestic beards add to their saintly presence while emphasizing their wisdom and authority. As our eyes wander through this celestial sphere adorned with stars in every direction imaginable, we are reminded of the eighth sphere mentioned in "The Divine Comedy" - a place where hope reigns supreme. William Blake masterfully brings together elements of poetry and visual art in this enchanting piece that celebrates faith, love, hope within paradise itself. It serves as a testament to his profound understanding not only of literature but also his ability to translate complex emotions onto canvas for all to behold in awe-inspiring wonderment.
