SPECTACULAR AND MIND BLOWING IMAGES OF HELL USED IN TWO ACCLAIMED FILMS! Do You Love Horror Books? "Inferno" will Scare You Death! "Inferno - The Art Collection" by Dino Di Durante is a full color book of a 72-piece art collection based on Dante's Inferno story, the first part of the literary masterpiece, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, the second greatest Christian story after The Gospel. This is a completely new, deep, and fascinating vision of Inferno by Dino Di Durante, who has studied this masterpiece in its original Italian for more than 30 years. The art was featured in a film titled Dante's Hell Animated (DVD available here), featuring Eric Roberts' voice as Dante. The entire collection is featured in the upcoming film "Inferno by Dante". Best choice as a companion and a visual reference to any Inferno book by Dante Alighieri, transcribed into prose or translated into any language.
Publishers Weekly,This collection of illustrations by Di Durante is intended to provide visual accompaniment for the first canto in Dante's masterpiece, the Divine Comedy, but it falls flat in its depiction. Di Durante's preface describes his creative journey, mentioning Salvador Dal��� and Sandro Botticelli as his artistic antecedents. He hopes in his introduction that his work will "visually convey" Dante's message in order that readers may "find [their] purpose in this life." The bulk of the work consists of 72 full-page images, each depicting a scene from Inferno with a brief caption along with two QR codes; one links to the associated text of the book and the other to a web page where copies of the artwork may be purchased. Di Durante never describes the medium he uses, but the images are reminiscent of computer-generated art. The best of the images are adequate representations of Dante's story but not more than that. The premise of the book is interesting, but its execution adds little to the story other than a visual aid. Color illus. (BookLife) ��� Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
