A tribute to Dante Alighieri, featured in the collective exhibition idDante hosted in Ravenna (Italy), the city in which the poet spent his last years.
Based on the exact facial reconstruction made by the Bologna University by using the poet’s skull remnants.
This work focuses on the skull, rather than a romantic interpretation of Dante’s face as seen in many paintings throughout centuries. Here, the theme of death and the path from its lowest to the highest spiritual edge have been crucial to the completion of the piece, as well as taking into account philosophical concepts related to the caducity of life and earthly glory.
