Back Copenhagen Danish Dante Early 19th Century Virgil White Chalk 1770 1844 Bertel Thorvaldsen Geryon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white chalk drawing, titled "Dante Virgil back Geryon" takes us back to the early 19th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Bertel Thorvaldsen, a renowned Danish sculptor from Copenhagen. With his skilled hand, Thorvaldsen brings to life a scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem "The Divine Comedy". In this particular moment captured on paper, we witness Dante and Virgil encountering the fearsome creature known as Geryon. The intricate details in the drawing allow us to immerse ourselves in the intensity of their encounter. The contrast between light and dark creates an atmosphere of mystery and suspense. Thorvaldsen's expertise shines through every stroke of his pencil as he skillfully portrays each character's emotions. We can almost feel Dante's trepidation and Virgil's unwavering determination as they confront this mythical beast together. Measuring approximately 13 3/16 x 10 ¾ inches (335 x 273 cm), this print from the Liszt Collection is a true testament to Thorvaldsen's artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate centuries-old stories like Dante Alighieri’s masterwork anew.
