Dante-alighieri.jpg(239 × 303 pixels, file size: 34 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Engraving after the fresco in Bargello Chapel, painted by Giotto di Bondone in the 14th century. Detail on Dante's eye was originally never filled in, but in 1840 a painter named Marini did a touch-up job on Giotto's painting of Dante, filling in the eyeball. Refer to page 59 of Michael Caesar's Dante, the Critical Heritage, 1314(?)-1870.
