‘Dante’ is a plasticine statue that pays homage to the Supreme Poet, representing him with essential yet intense features.
Plasticine, with its soft and moldable consistency, allows for the expressive details of the pensive face and iconic profile to be captured.
The fixed eyes and concentrated expression suggest Dante’s intellectual depth and inner journey, while the details of the headdress and robes evoke his era and his role as a poetic guide.
‘Dante’ is a work that, despite the simplicity of the material, manages to convey the authority and mystery of one of history’s greatest poets.
