Beatrice and Dante Watch TV

Paper, Plaster, Gouache 3D Puppets on Silkscreen background
12 x 11

I’m a fan of the Divine Comedy and have Florentine ancestry. When Beatrice died, Dante realized “only through love for his Beatrice would he be able to reach the divine.” I thought if I, as an artist, could resurrect their relationship to the present time, I would place them cosily side-by-side on a sofa watching TV. Beatrice chooses the film. Dante holds the remote.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
