"La Divina Comèdia: Paradìs" by Dante Alighieri is the final cantica of an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This concluding section follows Dante's journey through Paradise, guided by Beatrice, who represents divine revelation, theology, grace, and faith. The pilgrim's ascent through the nine celestial bodies culminates in the Empyrean, where he encounters the very essence of God. Drawing on medieval Catholic theology and philosophy, Paradiso represents the soul's ultimate ascent to the divine after recognizing sin and completing penance.
