Dante and Virgil in Hell

W-A. Bouguereau's Dante and Virgil in Hell (1850)

This comes from Commons and is in public domain. It is a scan of an 1850 painting by one of that period's best artists. The image is striking and a good example of his style and the use of the Dante's Inferno as a subject. There may be a problem in the quality of the scan. What do you think? It is at William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

Neutral. I love the image, but the scan quality is "imperfect"... I wonder if anything can be done via Photoshop? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:02, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree. I think the name of the neutral voter is somewhat ironic. :D Staxringold _talk^contribs 01:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I particluarly like the way the kneeling man's back looks like it is made out of clay - the way the other man's fingers are digging into it! Witt y lama 09:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Can anyone identify what Canto and line this is from? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 15:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Canto VII, lines 112-114 ("They smote each other not alone with hands,/But with the head and with the breast and feet,/Tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth"
