Dante Garden
The Dante Garden or the Dante Sculpture Park is a sculpture garden located on the campus of the University of St. Michael's College in Toronto, Ontario. The garden consists of 100 bronze page-like relief sculptures created by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz, making him the first artist to represent the full poem through sculpture. Each of the sculptures depict a single scene from each canto of Dante Alghieri's Divine Comedy, creating an "open-air book". In the center of the garden is a life-sized sculpture of Dante hunched over, appearing to write the first canto which he holds in his hand. The Dante Garden is freely accessible to the public and is intended to provide a visual read or walk through of all three poems of the Divine Comedy: Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Heaven).
