Summary:

This book addresses the artistic reception of the 'Comedy' in mural painting from the Trecento to the Cinquecento, created by some of the greatest fresco painters of these centuries, and presented here for the first time in its articulated and composite totality. Well-known specialists address each of the epochs and each of the artists studied, analyzing in particular the different moments in which the painters of these centuries have placed the figuration of the afterlife and of the universal judgment in the light of the Dante experience.
