The 101 wood engravings for the "Divine Comedy" were executed over a 14 year period. From 1951 to 1964, Dali painted the 101 watercolors which were used as studies for the wood engravings. From 1960 to 1964, Raymond Jacquet created the more than 3000 wood blocks which were necessary for the complete "Divine Comedy" with the participation and approval of Dali for each of the 101 engravings.
