God, look what I found all by mistake I typed "hell" in google image search and I my attention got on this one I said to myself oh no its a gay picture :unsure: but when I read the title it says: Dante and Virgil in hell

Its a really old oil panting wich means that Dante and Vergil's story aren't from anywhere there must a legend beneath it can't be a simple coincidence

Must warn there is middle nudity in the picture

I saw this one ages ago-- that's where my avatar came from.
Great painting, even though it does always remind me of Dante and Vergil watching gay porn together.

This painting is based on The Divine Comedy, on which DMC is also (losely) based upon. Main characters like Dante, Vergil, and Trish (Beatrice) in the game also come from the book. It's mostly a story about Dante's journey through Heaven and Hell. I tried reading it once, but never got to finish it... It's an epic (= long) poem you see...

By the way, the two guys twisting on the ground are not Dante and Vergil-- there're that standing-and-staring pair on the left hand side. (So no one is getting their ass kicked) Dante's the one in the funny red hat and Vergil's the one covering his mouth. (I think he's going to throw up...)

Are we trying to apperciate fine art here?
 
You know what, I hoped someone would clear all this I read many things about it but in french lol so I didn't wanted to translate all :D and also its fun to wonder why

whel thank you for lighting everyone light
You solve the riddle!

Its also fine art
 
I read The Divine Comedy in my youth and it really impressed me. I studied it for months. It also really opened up my appreciation of TS Eliot’s poetry because he based so much of his works on The Divine Comedy. As a more religious man now, revisiting The Divine Comedy — specifically the Inferno section — does bother me because it features the prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) in hell for creating schisms, even though he actually healed schisms present in Arabia, but Dante always came off as a Christian fundamentalist and condemned people he admired to hell in his book, so it doesn’t bother me too much.
