Dante Alighieri (Durante degli Alighieri known as 'Dante'; in Italian: [ˈdante aliˈɡjɛːri]) was an Italian poet, writer, thinker, and politician from the republic of Florence, born between 1265-1267 (according to studies by Carlo Ossola, philologist and literary critic) in Florence and died on September 14, 1321, in Ravenna.

‘Father of the Italian language,’ he is, along with Petrarch and Boccaccio, one of the ‘three crowns’ that established Tuscan as the literary language.

Major poet (the supreme poet or simply the poet) of the Middle Ages, he is the author of the Divine Comedy, often considered the greatest work written in this language and one of the masterpieces of world literature.



Gustave Doré, born on January 6, 1832, in Strasbourg, and died on January 23, 1883, in Paris, at his hotel on rue Saint-Dominique, was a French illustrator, caricaturist, painter, lithographer, and sculptor.

His work as an illustrator was recognized worldwide during his lifetime as one of the most important of the century. (cf. Wikipedia)
