Conceived as three large-format volumes — \u003cem data-start=\"592\" data-end=\"602\"\u003eInfierno\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"616\"\u003ePurgatorio\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"627\"\u003eParaíso\u003c\/em\u003e — the edition mirrors the architecture of Dante’s poem while allowing Barceló’s imagery to mutate across states of matter, colour, and intensity. Black dominates \u003cem data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"800\"\u003eInfierno\u003c\/em\u003e, dense and mineral, the paper absorbing pigment like scorched earth; \u003cem data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"882\"\u003ePurgatorio\u003c\/em\u003e opens into transitional greys and unstable tones; \u003cem data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eParaíso\u003c\/em\u003e lifts into blues and diluted whites, where form dissolves and the image hovers. Barceló does not illustrate scenes; he responds physically to Dante’s cosmology, working with washes, erosion, and gestural marks that feel closer to excavation than depiction. The bilingual Italian–Spanish text, translated and annotated by poet Ángel Crespo, reinforces the idea of passage — between languages, centuries, and forms of knowledge. Designed with exceptional care, the books use typography, colour, and pacing as structural elements, aligning text and image without subordination. In contrast to canonical illustrated editions that seek clarity or fidelity, this \u003cem data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003eDivina Comedia\u003c\/em\u003e embraces excess, ambiguity, and contradiction: the grotesque alongside the sublime, matter against spirit. For Darwin, this set stands as a total object — literary, visual, and editorial — where Dante’s medieval vision is not updated, but reactivated for the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"2471\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"1918\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"1921\"\u003eTitle: Divina Comedia (Infierno \/ Purgatorio \/ Paraíso)\u003cbr data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"1979\"\u003eAuthor: Dante Alighieri\u003cbr data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2005\"\u003eIllustrator: Miquel Barceló\u003cbr data-start=\"2032\" data-end=\"2035\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eTranslator \/ Notes: Ángel Crespo\u003cbr data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2070\"\u003eEditor: Joan Tarrida (with Marisa Abdala)\u003cbr data-start=\"2111\" data-end=\"2114\"\u003eDesign: Winfried Bährle\u003cbr data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2140\"\u003eDate: 2003\u003cbr data-start=\"2150\" data-end=\"2153\"\u003eEdition: Bilingual (Italian–Spanish), three volumes\u003cbr data-start=\"2204\" data-end=\"2207\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"2242\" data-end=\"2245\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover, boxed set\u003cbr data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2288\"\u003ePublisher: Galaxia Gutenberg\u003cbr data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2319\"\u003eISBN (set): 978-84-226-9755-8\u003cbr data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2351\"\u003eISBN-10: 848109417X\u003cbr data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2373\"\u003eISBN-13: 9788481094176\u003cbr data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2398\"\u003eAwards: Premio a los Libros Mejor Editados, 2003\u003cbr data-start=\"2446\" data-end=\"2449\"\u003eCondition: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2474\" data-end=\"2538\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52650843373906,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_copy_6133ef90-f0f0-4d91-9022-d5e3303f9a17.jpg?v=1770408032","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/en-it\/products\/divina-comedia-dante-alighieri-illustrated-by-miquel-barcelo-infierno-purgatorio-paraiso-2003","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
