Observing Dante in Florence Cathedral

Steps and a viewing platform in front of Domenico di Michelino’s prolific painting

In Florence Cathedral, steps and a viewing platform have been added to enable an up-close look at Domenico di Michelino’s 1465 painting,
Comedy Illuminating Florence. Part of the celebrations to mark the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death, the initiative sees three of the city’s top institutions - Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, Opera di Santa Croce e la Certosa di Firenze - Comunità di San Leolino – partner for the first time in Florentine history.

“Domenico di Michelino’s painting is perhaps the most famous portrait of Dante Alighieri,” commented Antonio Natali in a press release. “It’s no coincidence that many exhibitions have requested it on loan in 2021, including shows that are enjoying the most attention from the press. However, it seemed unacceptable, during this year of Dante, to deprive Florence Cathedral for several months of a creation that the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore commissioned to celebrate the poet’s birth in the fifteenth century.”

Retracing Dante’s steps means setting off on a unique journey into the art, history, culture and spirituality of Florence in the mid-1300s. In this
self-guided tour of Dante’s Florence, we peel back the layers of history, often in plain view of the piazzas and occasionally hidden away in the medieval backstreets.

Florence, within the ancient ring, from which she takes the bell-sound still of terce and nones, lived on in modesty, chasteness and peace. -Paradiso 15: 97-99
