This is a reproduction of William Adolphe Bouguereau's "Dante and Virgil in Hades" of 1850. In my opinion he never did better. More elevated, but never better. It also shows the imagined horrors of the underworld and has a dramatic theme of unbridled conflict, not between divine or eternal forces, but between men. The scene is taken from the Inferno in the Eighth Circle where Capocchio the heretic is bitten by Schicchi the imposter. The original work is 225 cm wide and 281 cm high and is currently at the Musee d'Orsay, Paris.

If you are interested in commissioning an oil painting on canvas of this art print, please send me an email attroy@trycap.com.
