L’Inferno (Italy 1911)

L'Inferno is a 1911 Italian silent film, loosely adapted from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. L'Inferno took over three years to make, and was the first full-length Italian feature film.[2] (The Story of the Kelly Gang, released in Australia in 1906, is the first full-length film).

L'Inferno was first screened in Naples in the Teatro Mercadante on March 10, 1911.[2] An international success, it took in more than $2 million in the United States, where its length gave theater owners an excuse for raising ticket prices.[3]For this reason, L'Inferno was arguably the first true blockbuster in all of cinema. Today it is regarded by many scholars as the finest film adaptation of any of Dante’s works to date.

ok, so my sister managed to take a decent picture of this A2 (HUGE) gouache piece i did 10 YEARS AGO, in college (i studied graphic design). So i tought, while i can’t draw just yet (read my last posts), i would share with you guys this damn illustration that took my soul away to be finished (it did grant me the maximum score for the task, tough). Yes, back then i was kinda obsessed with this movie, now it is definitely not my favorite phantom version AT ALL, but i will always hold it dear in my heart.

hope you all enjoy all of this Gerik.
