Imagination Ablaze William Blake's spectacular illustrations for "The Divine Comedy" Celebrated around the world as a literary monument, The Divine Comedy, completed in 1321 and written by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), is widely considered the greatest work ever composed in the Italian language. The epic poem describes Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, representing, on a deeper level, the soul's path towards salvation. In the last few years of his life, Romantic poet and artist William Blake (1757-1827) produced 102 illustrations for Dante's masterwork, from pencil sketches to finished watercolors. Like Dante's sweeping poem, Blake's drawings range from scenes of infernal suffering to celestial light, from horrifying human disfigurement to the perfection of physical form. While faithful to the text, Blake also brought his own perspective to some of Dante's central themes. Today, Blake's illustrations, left in various stages of completion at the time of his death, are dispersed among seven different institutions. This TASCHEN edition brings these works together again, alongside key excerpts from Dante's masterpiece. Two introductory essays consider Dante and Blake, as well as other major artists who have been inspired by The Divine Comedy, including Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Eugene Delacroix, Gustave Dore, and Auguste Rodin. With a close reading of Blake's illustrations, and many close-ups to allow the most delicate of details to dazzle, this is a breathtaking encounter with two of the finest artistic talents in history, as well as with such universal themes as love, guilt, punishment, revenge, and redemption.
Blake is a few of the poets and artists who inspired me in the Romantic Age: "the Ancient of Days", "Great Red Dragon", and all his prophetic works. Dante's Divine Comedy truly perpetuates the ambition of Odyssey and Aeneid, and, in doing so, reconciles the work of antiquity and Christianity. The best illustration of epic poem in art history. SY
评分Blake的绘画有一种独特的美感。这些画超越了它们的时代,因为当时是新古典主义,而Blake的画显然不太符合新古典主义推崇的古希腊罗马人像的特征。因此当时并不被接受。但是Blake的画里面有一种非常强的感情。事实上,他是牺牲了形似来换取强烈的感情表达,同时他的绘画又编制了一个奇幻的世界。所以实际上用来表现神曲里面的场景再合适不过了。另外,本书的一个优点是,每一幅画除了引用神曲的原诗外,还有一段相应故事的简单解说。这个对于读懂绘画非常有帮助,因为神曲本身文字晦涩难懂(即使是中译本)。 但丁的神曲之所以意义重大是因为他第一次把古典主义的人物与中世纪传统的基督教的人物揉在了一起写成了一首统一的诗篇。而不久之后的文艺复兴中,很多艺术家都受到了神曲的深刻的影响,并且根据神曲的启发创作了自己的作品。
