Dante Rescued from the Beasts by Virgil
Small figures and wild animals appear at different points along a steep, winding rocky path. The composition repeats the travellers to show stages of their encounter. The caption identifies Dante assailed by the beasts and rescued by Virgil, from a fourteenth-century codex, with a Tilli, Perugia reproduction credit. The manuscript artist is not individually named in the book.
