Lost in the Dark

A project of the anniversary of 700 year´s of death of Dante Aleghieri and his Divine Comedy.

 

The Divine Comedy is conceived as a great vision, as a personal experience of the poet who, in the middle of life, in the Easter week of the Jubilee Year 1300, sees himself wandering through a wild, horrible forest on the night before Good Friday.

 

Wild animals – leopard, lion, she-wolf, symbols of lust, arrogance, greed, which can also be interpreted politically – block his way out, and he feels hopelessly lost in the forest, the desolate life. 

 

This first canto I have interpreted with my watercolor „Lost in the Dark“.
