The Illustrated Divine Comedy — Inferno: One Hundred Plates for Cantos

Thirty-four cantos. Thirty-four plates. A visual language that did not exist before. The Illustrated Divine Comedy - Inferno is not an illustrated re-edition of Dante's poem. It is a unique and systematic project in which every canto finds its own image through the SMART-ART methodology and the METAMORPHOSIS DÉCO visual language - a personal synthesis of Moebius, Enki Bilal, Art Déco, and Ravenna mosaic developed by Bruno Cerboni over a decade of research with artificial intelligence. Each full-page plate is paired with a critical text written about the actual image - not the intention - that describes it, interprets it, and places it within the great Dantean illustrative tradition, from Botticelli to Doré, from Blake to Dalí. The result is an Inferno that has never existed before: neither romantic nor symbolist, neither literal nor visionary - but ornamental, architectural, and faithful to Dante in unexpected ways. Inside this volume: - 34 original full-color plates, one for each canto of the Inferno - A critical commentary for every plate, with the original Dante verses - Essays on the Dantean illustrative tradition and the METAMORPHOSIS DÉCO language - Premium color, large-format edition (8.25 × 11") First volume of three - Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise. Bruno Cerboni is a digital artist, engineer, and member of the Technical-Scientific Committee of ENIA (the Italian National Agency for Artificial Intelligence) in the "AI & Art" domain. This volume contains AI-generated illustrations created under the author's exclusive creative direction.
