Reproduction hand painted of the painting
The Barque of Dante (Delacroix)

Plunge into the nightmarish darkness of the Divine Comedy with “The Barque of Dante”, the original masterpiece by the great Eugene Delacroix. The emotional power of the painting lies in the terror readable on Dante’s face, led by the wise Virgil through the deadly waters of the river Styx. Around their frail craft, horror is unleashed: the damned souls, painted with muscular anatomy worthy of Michelangelo, writhe, scream, and desperately try to cling to the boat. In the background, the incendiary glow of the City of Dis sets the blackened sky ablaze. A pioneering work of French romanticism, this spectacular dramatic scene will impose a majestic and intellectual charisma on your interior decoration.
