Dante in Hell
Dante in Hell or Dante, led by Virgil, Consoles the Souls of the Envious is an 1835 oil painting on canvas by the French painter Hippolyte Flandrin. Contrary to its primary title, it shows a scene from the Circle of the Envious, the second circle of Purgatory in Canto III of Purgatorio. The scene depicts Dante on the mountain of Purgatorio trying to comfort the blind men. It is now in the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
