Dante Alighieri Bust | Divine Comedy Author |
🔹This is a 3D printed bust of Dante Alighieri. Dante is Italian poet, writer and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered the most important poem of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.
Dante is known for establishing the use of the vernacular in literature at a time when most poetry was written in Latin, making it accessible only to the most educated readers. His De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular) was one of the first scholarly defenses of the vernacular. His use of the Tuscan dialect for works such as The New Life (1295) and Divine Comedy helped establish the modern-day standardized Italian language, and set a precedent that important later Italian writers such as Petrarch and Boccaccio would follow.
Dante was instrumental in establishing the literature of Italy, and his depictions of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art. He is cited as an influence on Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton and Alfred Tennyson, among many others. In addition, the first use of the interlocking three-line rhyme scheme, or the terza rima, is attributed to him. He is described as the "father" of the Italian language, and in Italy he is often referred to as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet"). Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are also called the tre corone ("three crowns") of Italian literature.

🌟Post-3D Printing Process🌟
To ensure a smooth and flawless finish, each piece undergoes several steps after 3D printing. Initially, we carefully sand the object to eliminate any rough surfaces. Next, we apply a primer to prepare it for painting. The piece is then hand-painted with great attention to detail, and finally, we varnish it to ensure the paint remains vibrant and long-lasting.
📌Our products are lightweight due to the 3D printing process. The weight may be surprising when held, as it cannot be accurately judged by appearance alone. Generally, they weigh under 500 grams. Despite their lightness, our 3D printed items are more durable and resistant to impact. If you prefer a heavier product, we can add weight upon request, though this will incur an additional shipping fee. Please contact us for more details.
