Dante, as frescoed very posthumously by Raphael (1483 - 1520) as a background participant in "The Parnassus" in the Stanza della Segnatura of the Vatican |
Dante, as a crowd member in "Paradise" (below) by his contemporary and friend Giotto (1267 - 1337), in the Chapel of the Podesta in the Palazzo del Bargello, Florence. This is the only accurate likeness around, and can lay claim to being one of the earliest real life portraits. Most people who visit the Bargello seem to walk straight past the wall (below) without noticing it!
