"Dante and Beatrice" is a painting by the British artist Henry Holiday, completed in 1883 and currently housed in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. The work is a representation of a scene from the life of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, specifically an episode described in his autobiographical work "La Vita Nuova" (The New Life). In this scene, Dante encounters Beatrice, a woman he deeply admired and who would become a central figure in his poetry, particularly in "The Divine Comedy."

The painting captures the moment when Dante sees Beatrice, dressed in white, walking along the Arno River in Florence with two older women. Beatrice, who was known for her beauty and virtue, acknowledges Dante with a nod, an event that had a profound impact on the poet and his work. Holiday's interpretation is rich in symbolism and reflects the Pre-Raphaelite interest in medieval themes and aesthetics, which often emphasized fidelity to nature, vivid colors, and attention to detail.

Henry Holiday was an accomplished painter, stained glass designer, and illustrator, associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. "Dante and Beatrice" is considered one of Holiday's masterpieces and is notable for its emotional depth and the artist's meticulous approach to composition and color. The painting is a significant contribution to the visual arts of the Victorian era, offering a window into the romantic and literary preoccupations of the period.

The artwork has been analyzed for its historical accuracy, artistic merit, and its reflection of Holiday's personal interpretation of Dante's encounter with Beatrice. It remains an important piece in the study of Pre-Raphaelite art and continues to be appreciated for its portrayal of one of the most poignant moments in Italian literary history.
