Seeing Dante's Commedia in Print from the Renaissance to Today.

Join the artist and curators for a guided tour of this exhibition of new artworks and rare renaissance copies of Dante’s Divine Comedy.

About this event: An intensely envisioned journey through the three realms of the Christian afterlife, Dante’s Commedia was the subject of vivid illustrations from its earliest circulation. In a modern re-imagining informed by encounters in the archive, the artist and printmaker Wuon Gean-Ho invites us to step into a new reading of Dante’s medieval masterwork. This new series of linocuts moves from the pages of early modern books out into the spaces of the library before taking root in the artist's imagination and reappearing on sheets of paper inked and printed in the Bodleian Bibliographical Press. Join the artist and curators for a guided tour of this exhibition of new artworks alongside historical books in the Taylorian special collections.
