EDITORS COMMENTS
. This etching, created in the late 19th century by Henry Holiday, transports us back to medieval Italy, specifically Florence in the 14th century. The scene depicts the first meeting of Alighieri Dante and his muse, Beatrice Portinari. As two prominent figures in Italian literature and history, their encounter holds great significance. Dante Alighieri, renowned as one of the greatest poets of all time, is best known for his epic work "The Divine Comedy".
