SIGNORELLI, Luca(b. ca. 1450, Cortona, d. 1523, Cortona)
Dante and Virgil Entering Purgatory
1499-1502
Fresco
Chapel of San Brizio, Duomo, Orvieto
In these Orvieto frescoes Signorelli proves that he is a talented illustrator of Dante. He has succeeded in giving an interpretation of the Divine Comedy that is evocative and visionary, almost "modern" or should that be timeless.
