Description |
English:
Loosely inspired by the writings of the early Renaissance poet
Dante Alighieri
(1265–1321), this painting depicts his beloved
Beatrice
who appears in both the
Vita Nuova
and
Purgatory
. While Dante’s Beatrice is described in terms of the divine, Stillman paints a more earthly beauty, lost in thought as she contemplates her reading.
