I think it's very funny that people have cropped William-Adolphe Bouguereau's "Dante and Virgil" from 1850 for the sexy detail so much that it's possible people think Dante and Virgil ARE these subjects.

When in fact, Dante and Virgil are THESE guys standing to the side looking like a couple of scandalized queens. I love how he's got his robe over his mouth. "Oh my god. They are just Going at it over there."

Anyway this is the full painting!

There is a LOT of great little details in it. It's definitely a huge favourite of mine and not just for the homo eroticism.

Who doesn't like to take long warm baths? Dreamia sure does! Especially when the Victorian era you live in allows you to easily warm the water. ------------------------------------------ Support the project on Patreon -> https://www.patreon.com/user?u=42547971&fan_landing=true&view_as=public
