Description
Italiano: Da sinistra verso destra: Guido Cavalcanti (che recita ad alta voce le poesie di Guido Guinizzelli, che a quel tempo era già morto), Dante (il melograno che tiene in mano è in arte simbolo di immortalità), Giotto (mentre dipinge il celebre ritratto di Dante affrescato nella cappella del Podestà, nel palazzo del Bargello) e Cimabue (maestro di Giotto). Sotto l'impalcatura è presente Beatrice tra le donne in processione verso la chiesa.
Scrive Rossetti in una lettera datata 1º gennaio 1853: «In questo modo ho rappresentato tutte le dimensioni più influenti della giovinezza di Dante – Arte, Amicizia e Amore – con una vicenda reale che le incorpora tutte. Credo che la combinazione sia la migliore mai riuscitami per illustrare questo momento della vita del poeta, e anche il disegno è certamente tra i più belli che abbia mai realizzato». (cfr. Mazzara)

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1882, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
