This image shows Dante meeting Matilda, by the painter A Maignan. At the end of Purgatorio, Dante meets Matilda in the earthly paradise. Matilda clearly prepares Dante for his meeting with Beatrice the woman to whom (historically) Dante dedicated his previous poetry, the woman at whose request Virgil was commissioned to bring Dante on his journey, and the woman who allegorically symbolizes the path to God. Albert Pierre René Maignan (1845 –1908) was a French history painter and illustrator.
