"Paolo and Francesca" is a painting by the Dutch-French artist Ary Scheffer, completed in 1835. The work is renowned for its sentimental and emotive portrayal of the tragic story of lovers Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Rimini, characters borrowed from Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy".

In the painting, Scheffer depicts a dramatic scene from Inferno, Dante's first part of the Divine Comedy, where Paolo and Francesca are condemned to spend eternity in Hell. The pair are shown entwined in a passionate embrace, symbolizing their eternal punishment for the sin of adultery. The subjects of love and death are central themes in this piece, reflecting the broader Romantic movement of which Scheffer was a part.

The ill-fated lovers are depicted as ethereal figures, caught in a tender moment. Their longing gazes and the muted, almost monochromatic color palette enhance the sense of eternal sorrow and love. The visible text fragment, clutched in Paolo's hand, is a poignant reminder of their shared crime - they fell in love after reading the romance of Lancelot and Guinevere together.

Currently housed in the Wallace Collection in London, UK, "Paolo and Francesca" has continued to intrigue and move audiences, highlighting Scheffer's ability to stir emotions through clever use of literary references, visual storytelling, and his mastery of the Romantic style.
