Visions of Dante. The Inferno according to Botticelli

As a part of the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), this exhibition will present two drawings on parchment by Sandro Botticelli referring to the Divine Comedy’s ‘Inferno’, alongside two manuscripts by Jacopo della Lana and Boccaccio, courtesy of the Vatican Library.

The exhibition will also feature a copy of Dante’s manuscript which once belonged to Frei Manuel do Cenáculo, currently property of the Portuguese National Library, works from the Calouste Gulbenkian’s collection and works by Rui Chafes which refer to Dante’s ‘Inferno’.
