Dante’s Inferno – A Natural History
Dante’s Inferno has been extensively illustrated, with accompanying notes, by Fabrica, a brand new book published by Mondadori, appearing in bookstores from May 25, 2010. More than 300 illustrations, all hand-made using different techniques and all accompanied by in-depth notation: a meticulous work, which gives the reader a fresh and original interpretation of one of the greatest masterpieces of everlasting literature. Fabrica assigned this project to two young English artists, Patrick Waterhouse and Walter Hutton.

The multimedia design of The Divine Comedy Touch eBook, the first release in the series, takes a massive step beyond the traditional eBook format, which is usually black and white text, set out in linear pages. The Divine Comedy comes with full text, indices and the 100 cantos of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, but that is just the start, as the work evolves into lavish iconographic and virtual content.
Harriet Moore’s Paintings and Sculptures of the Comedy
“Harriet Grannis Moore, well-known San Francisco sculptor and instructor in stone and clay, created a series of paintings inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy in the 70s and early 80s. The paintings, measuring 9 feet high by 4 feet, will be accompanied by related ceramic sculpture.
Thirty years ago the noted San Francisco sculptor Harriet Moore was obsessed with Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. By the time she was finished (or it was finished with her), she had painted more than 20 nine-foot by 4-foot panels and completed 22 related sculptures in terracotta, bronze, and wood. Fifteen of the panels and several sculptures (on loan from a private collector) will be shown this spring in ‘Harriet Moore: The Divine Comedy.’ The exhibition opens April 18 and continues through June 27. The opening reception is scheduled for Sunday, April 18, from 1 to 4 p.m.” —Peninsula Art Museum (retrieved on April 26, 2010)

Evil Diva’s “(Really) Old Man Adventures”
Evil Diva is a webcomic about a young devil who becomes a superhero. With the help of “Mr. Virgil,” Diva learns how to control her powers and find her place among the forces of good and evil. Dante appears in the sporadic mini-comics entitled “(Really) Old Man Adventures” as well as in some of the other sketch comics on the site. A four part series in the “(Really) Old Man Adventures” reinterprets and illustrates early parts of the Inferno and references the Vita Nuova.
