Dante Aligheri was born in1265
at Florence,
Italy and died on 1321 at 56 years old. He had a girl that he loved
named Beatrice which most of his work was revovled around. His family
was very disappointed hat he waned to become an artist because most of
his family was warriors. He trained for the military, but gave it up to
be an artist. When Dante was a child e lived near the famous Donati
family. Not only is Dante an artist but he is also a writer. He found
that writing really relaxed him. Dante lived a very religious
family so
working for the pope was very important. |
Famous Works Some of Dante's most famous works were: La Vita Nuova, The Divine Comedy, Purhatorio, The New Life, Paradiso, Di Vulgari Eloquentia, Convivio and The Inferno(which was very important). Dante had a crush on a woman named Beatrice and so he based most of his work on her. The Inferno was Dante's most famous works. It was about him traveling through hell, purgatory\, and then finally heaven. They thought 'The Inferno' was "The New Dante" because his book gave him 'a change of heart.' Dante felt that writing relaxed him when he was angry or upset. Dante once betrayed the Pope Boniface VIII and recommended that Florence turn down military aid to the pope. Boniface was angry so later on Dante created a painting with Boniface as the central figure. |
