Photograph of "The Vision: Dante and Beatrice," a painting by Ary Scheffer. The painting depicts Dante as a man wearing a hooded tunic looking up towards Beatrice, who stands on a cloud next to him. He gestures upward with his right hand, while his left hand is placed on his chest. Beatrice herself is depicted as a young woman dressed with a floor-length robe, crowned with laurel leaves, and directs her gaze upward.
