Salvador Dalí Divine Comedy Woodcut Print - Purgatory Canto 11

This artwork is a color woodcut on paper by Salvador Dalí, part of his monumental 100-print series illustrating Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy'. The piece displays Dalí's signature surrealist style with fluid, ethereal figures and a muted palette of blue, ochre, and soft reds. It features a prominent figure with angelic wings and ascending human forms, depicting scenes from 'Purgatory'. A characteristic 'Dali' signature is visible in the lower right margin, though authenticity of the signature (whether in-plate or hand-signed) requires physical inspection. The work is professionally housed in an elaborate, high-quality framing presentation. This includes a carved wood frame with a gilded 'S' or swan-scroll pattern, a black textured inner slip with a diamond lattice pattern, and a wide cream-colored linen mat. The construction uses a multi-layered 'box' effect to provide depth. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, staining, or waving of the paper. This series was executed between 1951 and 1960 and published in the early 1960s. The framing suggests a modern custom job designed to enhance the value and protection of the work.
