In this watercolour painting, Rossetti depicts scenes from the tragic story of Francesca and Paolo, from Dante’s Inferno. He divides the painting into three sections, each telling a little of the tale - to the left, Francesca and Paolo embrace. In the centre panel, Rossetti shows Dante and Virgil looking at the right-most panel, where the lovers, murdered by Francesca's husband, drift through hell, locked in an embrace. Rossetti inscribed quotations from the text around the edge of the piece.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 – 1882) was an English painter, poet, illustrator and translator. In 1848 he founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood alongside Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Influenced by literature and medieval revivalism, he would often compose poetry to accompany his paintings, and William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Rossetti found each other a source of mutual inspiration. He was married to fellow artist Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, who modelled for many of his paintings. Several his works form part of Tate’s collection, including many of his most celebrated paintings.
