Francesca da Rimini by Ary Scheffer, 1835
Scheffer enjoyed enormous success with sentimental and religious scenes, many of which became the subject of popular engravings. Francesca da Rimini was one of his most admired works, this is the first version, but he produced many. A subject from Dante’s 'Inferno', it shows Dante and his guide, the Roman poet Virgil, during their passage through Hell. They look on the tragic figures of Paolo and Francesca, condemned with the souls of the lustful to the stormy darkness of hell’s second circle.
