Detailed explanation-1: -Although he never met him in person, his fellow poet Boccaccio described Dante as being of small stature, with an aquiline nose, big eyes and a narrow face. He went on to say he had olive skin and thick, black hair with a face that was at once melancholy and pensive.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why does Dante use imagery? Dante uses imagery to impart his allegorical story of sin and punishment. Using imagery and narrative gives the message a greater weight in the mind of the reader, rather than if it was told as a lecture or sermon.
Detailed explanation-3: -The painting in question is the “Mappa dell’ Inferno, ” the Abyss of Hell. The work was lost for centuries, the original sketch locked away in the Vatican. For the documentary “Botticelli Inferno, ” the vaults of the Vatican were opened, allowing the filmmakers to tell the story of this masterpiece.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Dante death mask plays a key role in Dan Brown’s Inferno novel. This precious object is preserved in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, most specifically in a small andito (hallway) on the first floor, between the Apartments of Eleanor and the Halls of Priors.
