Original – The Louvre version of Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta Appraised by Dante and Virgil, a series of paintings by Ary Scheffer. Painted in 1855, this painting shows a scene from Dante's Inferno in which he and Virgil encounter the ghosts of Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta.

Reason

After Dante had decided to place Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta in hell, Ary Scheffer commemorated them in at least three paintings. I think actually neither is in devil's domain.

• Support I think it would be quite nice for a few minutes but I wouldn't necessarily want to be superglued in that position for eternity.
