Over 500 years after their creation, all the extant drawings will be shown together for the first time at the Kulturforum, Berlin, the Scuderie Papali at Quirinale, Rome, and the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Each is illustrated in full colour in the catalogue and accompanied by a commentary on Botticelli's response to Dante's poem. They are followed by seven authoritative essays on aspects of Botticelli's and Dante's work, on Divine Comedy illustration in general and on the technique of Botticelli's drawings, illustrated in full colour throughout.
