Salvador Dalí is one of the most brilliant artists of the modern age. He staged his works and himself in the most spectacular way.

The Spanish artist Salvador Dali (1904-1989) created a cycle of one hundred illustrations of Dante's "Divine Comedy" between 1950 and 1960. Salvador Dali's paintings show, according to the "Hundred Songs" of Dante's work, man's wandering through hell, purgatory and paradise. The colour-intensive illustrations on this theme impressively show the artistic, unlimited imagination of the surrealist master in dealing with Dante's literary work.
