The Abyss Of Hell In Sandro Botticellis Inferno - you were
De goddelijke komedie La Divina Commedia is een allegorisch epos van de Florentijnse dichter Dante Alighieri , geschreven in het eerste kwart van de 14e eeuw Het behoort tot de erkende meesterwerken van de wereldliteratuur , [1] en tot de grootste culturele prestaties van de middeleeuwen. Dante beschrijft in de Komedie zijn imaginaire reis door de drie rijken van het hiernamaals: hel , louteringsberg en hemel. Hij is zowel auctor auteur als actor acteur in zijn eigen gedicht, dat lange tijd Il Dante genoemd werd. Hij werd op zijn reis vergezeld door de dichter Vergilius tot aan de hemelpoort van waaraf Beatrice hem verder zal gidsen tot voor God. Aanvankelijk noemde Dante zijn magnum opus in een brief aan Cangrande della Scala simpelweg Comedia ; [2] [3] het was Boccaccio die het in zijn huidige eretitel gaf, maar die werd in de twee eeuwen die daarop volgden nooit gebruikt. Kunsthistorici plaatsen Dante met beide voeten in de middeleeuwen en zijn Goddelijke komedie is daar de mooiste illustratie van. Het werk getuigt van een diepchristelijke levenshouding die gericht was op het hiernamaals en doordrongen van de heilsgedachte: de verlossing van de mensheid uit de zonde door de kruisdood van Christus. Dante toonde weliswaar zijn sterke voorkeur voor klassieke schrijvers en filosofen, maar zijn kennis van de klassieken was vrij beperkt. Hij kende weinig van de Romeinse geschiedenis en zijn concept van historie was eerder theologisch.
