Folhas de guarda em papel marmoreado muito encorpado. Cortes dourados por folha. Livro constituído por 1 frontispício e 73 reproduções fotográficas, com recurso ao processos do colódio húmido, das célebres gravuras de Scaramuzza, destinadas a ilustrar a Divina Commedia, sendo 37 relativas ao Inferno e 36 ao Purgatório. Tudo impresso na frente de cartolinas muito encorpadas. Cada gravura inclui na parte inferior os versos da Divina Commedia, que são referidos em cada uma delas. Logo em 1874, quando ainda estava em curso a produção das gravuras, já o estudioso Scarabelli explicava as características da obra de Scaramuzza que tornavam a suas obras superiores a todos os outros ilustradores, incluindo Dorè. Segundo afirma Simone Verde, o pintor revitaliza através de uma estética de caracter místico, a espiritualidade medieval. Scaramuzza destinguiu-se dos outros ilustradores da Divina Commedia, por um profundo conhecimento das três partes da obra, pelo fascínio pela sublime e poderosa visão imaginativa de Dante a ponto de produzir uma obra absolutamente original, pela quantidade de ilustrações e qualidade dos desenhos, caracterizados por uma total fidelidade ao texto poético (como logo destacou Scarabelli, em 1874:19, «Scaramuza mantem-se fiel ao texto, como se o estivesse a traduzir». O pintor oferece uma vasta exegese estética dos elementos narrativos e das alegorias dos cantos, feita com uma técnica de notável complexidade em que a pena vibra, transcrevendo para o olhar a variedade das cenas literárias, a cosmologia dantesca e o seu ordenamento moral, ecoando um universo de analogias com o presente. Francesco Scaramuzza (Sissa, 1803 - Parma, 1886) Pintor e poeta italiano. Estudou na Regia Accademia di Belle Arti di Parma, onde foi aluno de Antonio Pasini e Giovanni Tebaldi. Depois de ter obtido diversos prémios, venceu um concurso para se aperfeiçoar em Roma. A partir de 1830, em Parma, pintou vários frescos e telas em igrejas da cidade de parma e da província. Em 1836 participou na Exposição Nacional de Milão, com uma obra em que representava o episódio do Conde Ugolino, do Inferno de Dante. O Grande êxito que obteve levou-o a pensar em ilustrar toda a obra. Entre 1836 e 1855, realizou os frescos que decoram a Sala de Dante, da Biblioteca Palatina de Parma. Em 1853, tendo em vista as comemorações do Sexto Centenário do nascimento de Dante, foi contratado por Luigi Carlo Farini, para realizar obras sobre a Divina Commedia. Apesar de o projecto ter ficado sem efeito, por causa de problemas financeiros de Farini, o pintor continuou a trabalhar e, em 1870, as suas pinturas foram expostas pela primeira vez em Parma. Apesar de, entretanto, terem sido publicadas as ilustrações de Gustave Doré, com grande êxito e divulgação, Scaramuzza levou o seu projecto até ao fim, em 1876. Como poeta é autor de um Poema Sacro com XVII Cantos em oitavas, sob a influência de Ariosto. Scaramuzza pensava ter poderes mediúnicos e considerava, que os seus versos lhe eram ditados, tendo escrito também dramas ditados por Carlo Goldoni. Due canti sulle corporali esistenze dello spirito che fu nell"ultima Dante Allighieri, da lui dettati per introduzione a maggior poema al medio F. Scaramuzza, Firenze, 1875. Carlo Saccani (flo. 1860 - 1878) Fotógrafo e editor italiano, activo em Parma, desde 1860, primeiro no bairro de S. Tiburzio e depois na Estrada de S. Miguel, n.º 81. Realizou em parceria com Filippo Beghi uma série de fotografias do Arco Triunfal, erigido em honra de Vittorio Emanuele II, em 1860. Produziu trabalhos com recurso à ambrotipia (retratos sobre vidro) até 1864. Tornou-se célebre como editor das reproduções fotográficas das gravuras de Scaramuzza. Em Florença dirigiu a Fotografia Mazza, enquanto o seu irmão Pio Saccani dirigia o estúdio em Parma. Em 1867 produziu uma campanha fotográfica para documentar a participação da Comuna de Parma na Exposição de Paris, que decorreu no referido ano. 39.6 x 34.5 cm. 74 folios. Magnificent contemporary binding, entirely in dark green morocco leather, with raised bands and decorated, gitl tooled with fine and elegant elements in closed panels on the spine and on the corners of the covers, which feature beautiful low relief carvings on fine lambskin. Very thick marbled endpapers. Gilt edges. Book consisting of 1 frontispiece and 73 photographic reproductions, using wet collodion processes, of Scaramuzza's famous engravings, intended to illustrate the Divina Commedia, with 37 relating to Hell and 36 to Purgatory. All printed on the front of very thick cardboard. Each engraving includes the verses from the Divina Commedia at the bottom, which are referred to in each one. As early as 1874, when the engravings were still being produced, the scholar Scarabelli explained the characteristics of Scaramuzza's work that made it superior to that of all other illustrators, including Dorè. According to Simone Verde, the painter revitalises medieval spirituality through a mystical aesthetic. Scaramuzza distinguished himself from other illustrators of the Divine Comedy through his profound knowledge of the three parts of the work, his fascination with Dante's sublime and powerful imaginative vision, to the point of producing an absolutely original work, and the quantity and quality of his illustrations, characterised by their total fidelity to the poetic text (as Scarabelli pointed out in 1874:19: "Scaramuza remains faithful to the text, a.

First Hachette edition with French text of Dore's magnificently illustrated edition of Dante's Inferno. Folio, bound in full morocco by Antoine Chatelin with elaborate Grolieresque gilt-decorated morocco onlays to the spine and panels, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, full gilt-decorated morocco doublures, watered silk endleaves stamped in gilt, marbled endpapers, illustrated with 75 full-page engravings by Gustave Dore including his striking frontispiece portrait of Dante. French translation by Pier-Angelo Fiorentino, accompanied by the text in Italian. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom clamshell box. An exceptional presentation linking two great artists of the 19th century. Widely considered the most important work of Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature, Dante's Divine Comedy takes as its literal subject the state of the soul after death and presents an image of divine justice meted out as due punishment or reward. The work was originally simply titled Comedà a (so also in the first printed edition, published in 1472), Tuscan for "Comedy", and was later adjusted to the modern Italian Commedia. The adjective Divina was added by Giovanni Boccaccio, in reference to the work's subject matter and lofty style, and the first edition to name the poem Divina Comedia was that of Venetian humanist Lodovico Dolce, published in 1555 by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. NEW EDITION. Leather-bound with fore-edge painting; hardcover; folio (38 x 29 x 5 cm); pp. xxiv, 183 + 76 full-page illustrations outside the pagination.

Exquisitely bound in contemporary full crimson morocco with vanishing fore-edge paintings on all three sides; all page edges gilt; marbled endpapers; portrait frontispiece with tissue guard; title-page printed in red and black; illustrated with seventy-five designs by the renowned Gustave Doré, each with a captioned tissue guard.

Very slight shelf wear to covers. Contents complete and largely well-preserved, with some spotting to the title and a few thumb marks. The fore edge paintings remaining bright and fresh. Scarce thus. Notes: A wonderful copy with remarkable vanishing fore-edge paintings on all three sides by an unknown artist depicting a portrait of Dante and scenes from his work. Dore's spectacular illustrations bring Dante's visions to life in a style and manner to satisfy artistic appetites both subtle and grotesque. An excellent example of the nineteenth century art of printing and decoration. Dr. Cary's was the first and most important translation into English. Cary's famous translation has long been considered the first modern rendering of Dante's timeless epic into English. While previous English translations prior to Cary's had been accomplished in the 18th century, none were able to transfer into the English language, the beauty and richness of language for which Dante has forever been revered.

From the Gallery page of the website "The World of Dante":".Finding it difficult to secure a publisher willing to take on the expense of producing the expensive folio edition the artist envisioned, Doré himself financed the publication of the first book of the series, Inferno, in 1861. The production was an immediate artistic and commercial success. Buoyed by the popularity of Doré's edition of the Inferno, Hachette published Purgatorio and Paradiso in 1868 as a single volume."
