To honor the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death, Timothy Schmalz sculpted each of the 100 cantos—or chapters—of the Divine Comedy. His sculptural relief interpretation of each canto comes to life on a page-like panel so you can visually “read” Dante. These masterpieces offer a new way of experiencing what is considered one of the greatest poems in Western society.
This first panel features a detailed narration of Inferno Canto 1, where the poet finds himself lost in a dark wood. It is a perfect introduction to the poem for those new to the work and will prompt fresh reflection in those already inspired by Dante’s writings.
