The Divine Comedy Illustrated by Botticelli is a manuscript of the Divine Comedy by Dante, illustrated by 92 full-page pictures by Sandro Botticelli that are considered masterpieces and amongst the best works of the Renaissance painter. The images are mostly not taken beyond silverpoint drawings, many worked over in ink, but four pages are fully coloured. The manuscript eventually disappeared and most of it was rediscovered in the late nineteenth century, having been detected in the collection of the Duke of Hamilton by Gustav Friedrich Waagen, with a few other pages being found in the Vatican Library. Botticelli had earlier produced drawings, now lost, to be turned into engravings for a printed edition, although only the first nineteen of the hundred cantos were illustrated.

  • La Divine Comédie illustrée par Botticelli est un manuscrit ancien contenant le texte de la Divine Comédie et dont l'illustration a été entamée par Sandro Botticelli. De nos jours, tous les feuillets sont détachés et 84 d'entre eux sont conservés au Kupferstichkabinett de Berlin et huit autres à la Bibliothèque apostolique vaticane. (fr)

  • 100 disegni danteschi su pergamena furono commissionati a Sandro Botticelli, tra il 1480 e il 1495, da Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, detto il Popolano, cugino di secondo grado di Lorenzo il Magnifico. Per lui, Botticelli realizzò due tra le sue opere più famose: Pallade che doma il centauro e la Primavera, dipinti oggi conservati agli Uffizi. I Disegni per la Divina Commedia conosciuti sono 92. L'unico completato è quello che introduce i Canti dell'Inferno, cioè La voragine infernale. (it)
