Dante encounters Beatrice - River Arno, Florence - painted by Henry Holiday 1882-4 - a stylised version of what a meeting between Beatrice and Dante might have looked like. This painting imagines the scene 600 years later - Dante died in 1325 c.

Fabulous painting of Dante - shared by @firenzeconguida.it in @bargellomuseums #Firenze - there’s a very similar painting in @walkerartgallery #Liverpool by Henry Holland - details to follow. In fact we don’t really know what Dante looked like - the Holland painting is 19th century - Dante died in early 14th century!
