Dante Alighieri‘s triptych, The Divine Comedy is regarded as one of the greatest pieces of literature to have ever been written. A long form poem written in three parts; Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, the piece continues to inspire all forms of art today. Written in 1308 and completed a year before Alighieri’s death in 1320, The Divine Comedy taps into the unknown, the afterlife and envisions what lies beyond our physical world.
