Die Göttliche Komödie von Dante Ali

Die Göttliche Komödie von Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) gilt als größtes literarisches Werk der italienischen Sprache (vollendet 1321) und Meisterwerk der Weltliteratur. Das Opus beschreibt die Reise des Dichters durch Hölle und Fegefeuer in den Himmel, und auf einer tieferen Ebene den symbolischen Weg der Seele zu Gott.

In seinen letzten Lebensjahren vollendete der Poet und Maler William Blake (1757-1827) 102 Illustrationen zu Dantes epischer Dichtung, die von Bleistiftskizzen bis hin zu fertigen Aquarellen reichen. Blake gelingt es, die visionäre Kraft von Dantes Sprache in Bilder zu übersetzen und in ihrer ganzen Spannbreite darzustellen: von den Qualen der Hölle bis zur Glückseligkeit des Paradieses, von grausamen Verstümmelungen der Verdammten bis hin zur göttlichen Schönheit der Erlösten. Wenngleich Blake dem Text Dantes treu blieb, brachte er seine eigene Betrachtungsweise zu zentralen Themen des Werkes ein.

Heute befinden sich Blakes Zeichnungen in sieben verschiedenen Institutionen. Diese TASCHEN-Edition vereint sie wieder und stellt ihnen Schlüsselverse aus Dantes Werk zur Seite. Zwei Essays führen den Leser in das Werk von Dante und Blake ein. Wie groß der Einfluss der Göttlichen Komödie auf die Werke der bildenden Kunst war, zeigen Arbeiten von Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Doré und Auguste Rodin.

Alle Illustrationen werden ausführlich erläutert, die 14 Klapptafeln machen auch kleinste Details sichtbar. Diese Begegnung von zwei der größten Künstler aller Zeiten ist überwältigend und wird in so universellen Themen wie Liebe, Schuld, Sühne, Rache und Erlösung anschaulich.
