Dante and Virgil in Hell (by Bouguereau) Bath Mat

This design features a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905). It depicts a scene from Dante's Divine Comedy, which narrates a journey through Hell by Dante and his guide Virgil. The author and his guide are looking on as two damned souls are entwined in eternal combat. One of the damned souls is an alchemist and heretic named Capocchio, and he is being bitten on the neck by the trickster Gianni Schicchi, who had used fraud to claim another man's inheritance. The devil with large red wings can be seen flying in the sky. The original artwork was painted by Bouguereau in 1850.
