Once upon a time Dali received an order from the Italian government to illustrate the famous "Divine Comedy" of Dante Alighieri. The order was then canceled following the Italian society’s objections to the creation of the illustrations for the Italian poet's work by the Spanish artist.
However, Dali, who since childhood loved the works of Dante, didn’t stop working. This work lasted 10 years, and during that time the artist created 3,500 samples, which helped to achieve an unusual effect.
Possessing a unique talent, Salvador Dali had a different view of the world. He loved to experiment with space, shape and color. The works created by Dali were made in the genre of surrealism, and the artist himself was one of the brightest and most famous representatives of this art direction.
The works of Salvador Dali are kept in the largest museums in the world and are considered classics of surrealism. The artist's works change people's perception of art and encourage them to tune in to their own feelings.
