102 full-color plates of Blake's last art - mostly watercolors and sketches, with a few engravings. Mostly concerning the Inferno, I guess Blake had passed on before he got to Paradise. Nicely printed and laid out, but a bit more text from Dante would have been welcome. Most of the captions are merely descriptive with canto and line references. ( )

From "Publisher's Note" page v
"William Blake's final artistic project is a stunning collection of illustrations for Dante Alighieri's masterpiece, the epic poem DIVINIA COMMEDIA. Born nearly 500 years after Dante, the English poet and artist nevertheless succeeds in bridging the centuries to provide a unique perspective on the medieval classic. It is a fascinating marriage, as Dante, although harshly critical of the Church and its adherents, was nevertheless a believer, whereas Blake was renowned for his iconoclastic stance against organized religion."
