Dante’s Vision of Rachel and Leah

Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (English, 1828–1882)

Date: 1855

Medium: Watercolor on paper

Collection: Tate Britain

Description

Dante, Virgil and the Latin poet Statius are making their way up the final climb towards the top of the island-mountain of Purgatory. As they reach the steps which lead from the seventh terrace, where lust is purged, to the terrestrial heaven, night has fallen and they are unable to go any further upward.

Dante once again falls asleep just before daybreak, and has his third dream, of Leah and Rachel. Unlike his two previous dreams, this third one is both tranquil and clear.

The two Biblical sisters, who both married Jacob, are presented in a pastoral setting. Leah, who is conventionally seen as representing the active way of life by ‘doing’, gathers flowers and weaves them into a garland. She became Jacob’s first wife, and bore him seven children. In contrast, she refers to her younger sister Rachel, representing the contemplative way of life by ‘seeing’, who she says is constantly looking at her own reflection in a mirror.

When they awake in the morning, Dante, Virgil and Statius ascend the remaining steps and enter the terrestrial heaven which lies above the slopes of Purgatory. Virgil has completed his mission as guide, and tells Dante that he can now wander where he wishes. Heaven is described as a lush forest with a rich flora and fauna, and gentle breezes.

Vulcano. Red Studio Jordi Diaz Alamà, Granollers 1986,

Jordi Díaz Alamà, nacido en Granollers en 1986, es licenciado en Bellas Artes por la Universidad de Barcelona. Se perfeccionó estudiando arte clásico en escuelas internacionales, como la Academia de Arte de Florencia, donde adquirió conocimientos sobre las técnicas empleadas por los grandes artistas del siglo XIX. También tuvo el privilegio de formarse con maestros contemporáneos del realismo, como Guillermo Muñoz Vera, Odd Nerdrum y Antonio López. Aparte de su actividad artística personal, Alamà es también un consumado profesor que ha impartido clases en la Universitat de Belles Arts de Barcelona y fundó la Barcelona Academy of Art en 2013. A través de su enseñanza, se esfuerza por promover los métodos clásicos del arte como una valiosa herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación y representación de temas de hoy en día. La obra personal de Alamà muestra un impresionante abanico de técnicas pictóricas que mezclan el realismo clásico con la estética contemporánea, libre de cualquier manierismo estilístico. Sus series #ClásicosDesollados y Red Studio, que combinan la pintura realista al óleo con toques abstractos, son exploraciones rompedoras de la intersección entre el arte clásico y el moderno. Su proyecto expositivo Si Volse a Retro, creado en colaboración con el escultor polaco Grzegorz Gwiazda, reinterpreta la Divina Comedia de Dante Alighieri y pone de relieve el compromiso del pintor con la figuración contemporánea.

Alamà también ha trabajado en numerosos encargos, como la monumental obra La Creu del Jubileu para la Església dels Dolors de Vic. También fue seleccionado para retratar a la ganadora del Premio Cervantes 2022, Cristina Peri Rossi, y recientemente ha ilustrado portadas para varias novelas y álbumes musicales.
