Paradise
Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy from 1320 has been a close companion in Alexander Tovborg’s life and artistic practice. This late-medieval poem is considered one of the world’s greatest works of literature, describing the afterlife as a journey of the soul towards God. Centring himself as the protagonist, Dante’s journey begins in hell, goes through purgatory and culminates in a cosmic light filled paradise.
The Comedy is divided into three books: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Inferno is an explicit rendition of the descent into Hell. Purgatorio describes Dante’s upward journey on a mountain island, culminating in Earthly Paradise at the top of the mountain. In the third book, Paradiso, Dante travels through paradise in space, guided by his great love, Beatrice. The motifs radiate from the black paper in delicate and evocative colours, reflecting Dante’s upward journey in space, detached from life on earth. With the same ease as Dante’s ascension into astronomical space, Tovborg depicts the souls Dante meets on his path towards God.
Tovborg’s Paradise portfolio of 33 etchings completes his print project for Dante’s Divine Comedy, which in total includes 92 prints.
