The "Portrait of Dante Alighieri" by an Italian Miniaturist is a celebrated depiction of the renowned Italian poet, Dante Alighieri, best known for his epic poem "The Divine Comedy." This particular portrait is significant as it is one of the earliest artistic representations of Dante, believed to have been created in the 14th or early 15th century, shortly after the poet's death in 1321. The identity of the Italian Miniaturist who crafted this portrait remains unknown, but the work is attributed to the Florentine school, a group of artists active in Florence during that period.

The portrait is executed in tempera on parchment, a common medium for miniature paintings of that era, which were often used to embellish or illustrate manuscripts. The image of Dante in this portrait has become iconic, showing the poet in a red robe with a laurel wreath upon his head, symbolizing his status as a poet laureate. His face is characterized by a prominent nose, a stern brow, and a sharp chin, features that have come to define the visual legacy of Dante in the collective memory.

The "Portrait of Dante Alighieri" by the Italian Miniaturist is not only a work of art but also a historical document that provides insight into the visual culture of post-medieval Italy and the veneration of its literary figures. The portrait is housed in the collection of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze in Florence, Italy, and remains a subject of study for art historians and Dante scholars alike. Its influence extends beyond the realm of art, as it has shaped the representation of Dante in literature, popular culture, and subsequent artistic renditions.
