The Magic Lantern

This piece of art was created as a result of an enlightening conversation with a talented artist and esteemed gentleman. The inspiration gleaned from this interaction led to the creation of a work that evokes the image of Dante Alighieri presenting "The Divine Comedy" to the world through the metaphor of a magic lantern. The final piece was met with great appreciation by the individual who served as inspiration for its creation. "The path to paradise begins in hell." (Inferno, Canto 1)
