For World Poetry Day, a poem in a painting. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's took his subject from the first canto of Dante's Inferno, when the Italian poet encounters three savage beasts deep in a forest. Dante then meets the ancient poet Virgil, who offers to be his guide through Purgatory and Hell. #poetry #art #boston A post shared by Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (@mfaboston) on Mar 21, 2014 at 6:49am PDT
