This book addresses the artistic reception of the Comedy in mural painting from the '300 to the '500, created by some of the greatest fresco painters of these centuries, for the first time in its articulated and composite totality. Well-known specialists participate in each of the epochs and in each of the artists studied, analyzing in particular the different moments in which the painters of the 14th and 15th centuries have placed the figuration of the afterlife and of the universal judgment in the light of the Dante experience.
