Insula Europea: Un amanuense e miniatore della “Commedia” a New York. Simone Casini intervista George Cochrane
Dante's Inferno, illustrated and handwritten by George Cochrane is a great undertaking. On the one hand, it seems to be consciously linked to the illustrious fourteenth-century tradition of illuminated manuscripts of the Commedia. On the other hand, it inevitably confronts the great history of iconography and figurative representation of the Commedia, which over the centuries has witnessed the work of so many masters. The result is a refined art book, which Thornwillow Press, a fine book publisher, published in a limited edition utilizing different bindings, some with additional hand-coloring by the artist.
