The return of this popular series at twice its original length as THE COURSE makes its contribution to celebrations across the world to mark the 750th anniversary of the birth of the poet Dante Alighieri in Florence in 1265.
What Botticelli, Flaxman, Blake, Gustav Doré, Salvador Dalì and others drew and painted when they read Dante, in The Divine Comedy, speaking of what he saw, on a journey no man had ever made before, through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise.
Ascending to Mars and Jupiter, Dante sees Visions – made from myriad souls in formation – of Christ on the Cross, Flashing Lights, Earthly Justice, and the Eagle, stands among the warriors of God, navigates Saturn, meets St Benedict, and from the Sphere of the Fixed Stars, looks down upon the Earth below.
