Description

another little sketch...

Francesca Da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta. Doomed lovers...You know the story, Dante tells it in Canto V of his Inferno. He sees their souls in Hell, being buffeted this way and that by a great maelstorm with those of all others guilty of adultery - passion makes tumbleweeds of many of us on Earth, and far as Dante is concerned, it doesn't get any better in the hereafter.

I love Dante's Inferno. This is absolutely stunning and I love the body composition and just the tone of this. It looks so tender yet you can sense passion and lust. Almost like a calm before a storm. Beautiful as always :)
