CTVNews – A new exhibit in the Old Port takes a look at the extraordinary encounter between two influential artists: Dante Alighieri and Salvador Dali.<\/p>

Written more than 700 years ago by Italian writer Dante Alighieri<\/strong>, the Divine Comedy<\/strong> is a story of reflection, confinement, and quite literally, going to hell and back.<\/p>

Seven centuries later, in the 1950s, master surrealist Salvador Dali was commissioned to create 100 pieces of art commemorating Dante’s work, specifically the Divine Comedy.<\/p>

Those print were brought to Montreal and put up on display at the Grand Quay.<\/a><\/p>

The collective behind the installation, La Girafe en feu, says the story of the Divine Comedy bears a stark semblance of how the pandemic has impacted our lives.<\/p>
