William Blake. Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy’. The Complete Drawings

The book came in great quality. And I am honored to see William Blake's art pieces in one. He has such a pure soul in all his works.

The media could not be loaded. This book is William Blake’s illustrated version of Dante‘s Divine Comedy.This book is delightful and the artwork (pen, ink, engravings and watercolors) accompanied by descriptions of the event happening in the Divine Comedy illustrations, really help to understand the text (which you can buy separately).I purchased this as a reference for an art project and was delighted by the quality of the book

good

Based on the price ($30.00) I was really not expecting much. However, when the book arrived I found that my preconceptions were not accurate. I am very impressed with the quality of this book, and I would easily recommend it to anyone interested in the art of William Blake.

Delivery was fast and book packaged well. This heavy, illustrated beautiful book contains stunning drawings and wonderful essays that are a pleasure to read. Highly recommended to Dante fans.

Thought it would be an art book, but it is more like a textbook. Still, very interesting.

I'm reading Dante's Divine Comedy and I find this an excellent companion. Blake's art and the commentary provided help me pick up on details in the poem that I would otherwise miss (at least for Inferno, where Blake produced more drawings). Having Blake's view is also fun, livening the reading.Do expect a companion and not a substitute for Dante or proper detailed notes on the entire Divine Comedy though.

Taschen books are of the highest quality and this one does not disappoint. Also, the editors give good biographical information of the artist. The pages are good quality and art is in color. The book is not coffee table sized, but nice and thick and even thought the work might be somewhat small, still lovely to look at. The book is about seven long by five inches wide.

Excelente!

Interesante ver cómo Blake interpreta una visión de Dios que es diametralmente opuesta a la suya. Se trata de la última obra que no llegó a completarla, algunos están inacabados, otros apenas esbozados, pero contiene valiosas acuarelas. La asunción central de la Divina Commedia es que Dios es un ser transcendente al mundo, y en consecuencia, el arte no puede expresar la omnipotencia ni la gloria de Dios; una asunción que Blake rechaza de plano. Las acuarelas de Blake seguramente fueron diseñadas para “corregir” algunos aspectos de la teología de Dante, que no compartía Blake. La edición es magnífica.

EXCELENTE DICION, BUEN MATERIAL, MUY BIEN ILUSTRADO CON LAS OBRAS DE BLAKE. MUY RECOMENDABLE

If you like either William Blake or Dantes Inferno this is a must buy. It is an amazing book for the price and reproduces the artwork beautifully.I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

I love this book, It arrived quickly and well packed. Contains beautiful well printed artistic images, good quality paper and a nice strong cover. The text is explicative of the story. Nice to look at right now and can read the text later. I strongly recommend it, In addition,I bought the text book "The Divine Comedy" to go with it.
