Description
An old book, "The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri" and a half-eaten apple sit on the fender of an old red Ford pickup truck for a unique still life.
Dante Alighieri, begun this manuscript c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321. It is considered the preeminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.
From CliffsNotes: The adjective "Divine" was added by a 16th-century editor and publisher and has been retained ever since.
