The artist Monika Beisner visited the College on Tuesday October 27th to show her spectacularly beautiful illustrations of Dante’s ‘Paradise’. There was also a round-table discussion between the artist and Cambridge Dante scholars Robin Kirkpatrick, Heather Webb and Katherine Powlesland. Professor Kirkpatrick read from his Penguin Classics translation of Dante's 'Divine Comedy'. The event attracted a large attendance, and our photograph shows Ms Beisner (left) with Selwyn Fellow and Italian specialist Dr Heather Webb.
