Divine Comedy Watercolors

The Lily Flower

About this artwork

The Lily Flower

Paradise XVI, 154-155

The ancient flag of Florence, Dante’s home and the subject of much of The Divine Comedy, showed a white lily on a red background. It was customary to mock a vanquished foe by flying their flag upside-down on the mast and the speaker is bragging that Florence had never been defeated in a war.
