Salvador Dali(Spanish 1904-1989)THE NEGLECTFUL MEET VIOLENT DEATH from THE DIVINE COMEDY SERIES authenticated by Frank Hunter of the Salvador Dali Archives Ltd,New York on the reversewoodblocksheet size: 33 by 26,2cm, unframed “But while their sudden flight was scattering those souls across the plain and toward the mountain where we are racked by rightful punishments.”¹ Eccentric and imaginative, Salvador Dali’s repertoire extended far beyond his painting. In the 1950s, Dali was commissioned by the Italian Minister of Culture to illustrate a special edition of Dante’s Divine Comedy, which was released in 1965 on the 700th Anniversary of Dante’s birth. The Divine Comedy Suite is made up of 100 colour woodcuts produced between 1960 and 1964. This particular work is titled The Neglectful Meet Violent Death. It is from the second part of Dante's Inferno, Purgatory. The work is the illustration that accompanies the third canto of purgatory. Purgatorio 3 is written as a song and falls into two parts. The separation of the canto into two parts allows Dante to employ the technique of authorial dialogic- human consciousness exists in two paradoxical parts which are always opaque to one another, but not absolutely opaque. The partial opacity of human consciousness allows Dante to blur right and wrong. This is particularly apt in Purgatorio 3, which focuses on a group of departed souls trapped between worlds. Dali’s illustrations for Dante’s Divine Comedy employ metaphorical imagery, rather than being literal representations.² The delicate washes of colour in Purgatorio 3 perfectly complement the story of drifting souls in purgatory. The blandness of the colours, muted browns and greys, emphasise the nothingness of purgatory, the world that stands between heaven and hell. (Inferno and Paradiso). In our February 2020 Premier Auction in Cape Town a very similar work by Dali, Prayer of Saint Bernard also from the Divine Comedy series and similar in size and medium, sold for R16 000 on the hammer, outperforming its estimate of R 6000 – R 9000.
