INFO REGARDING PRINT: It derives from the story of Paolo and Francesca in Dante's Inferno.
Francesca was the sister-in-law of Paolo Malatesta, and both were married, but they fell in love. Their tragic adulterous story was told by Dante in his Divine Comedy, Canto V of the Inferno, and was a popular subject with Victorian artists and sculptors, especially with followers of the Pre-Raphaelite ideology, and with other writers.
The print shows the adulterous kiss that condemns the lovers. Their adulterous relationship uncovered, they were murdered by Francesca's husband and Paolo's brother, Sigismondo Malatesta, and banished to the second circle of hell.

Why buy antique prints? Because modern copies of prints lack the collectability and re-sale value of an antique print. Copies also cannot give you the pleasure and satisfaction of owning a real piece of 19th Century Art!
Great for crafts - perfect for collage, scrap-booking, cards, mixed media arts, etc.
