"Dante en Vergilius in een boot op de Styx" is a lithograph by Célestin Nanteuil, created between 1846 and 1853. This artwork depicts a scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem *Inferno*, where Dante and his guide Virgil sail across the River Styx in a boat guided by Charon, the ferryman of the underworld. The lithograph captures the dark and dramatic atmosphere of the scene, with the figures of Dante and Virgil standing out against the turbulent waters and the shadowy backdrop. This artwork is a powerful visualization of Dante's journey into the underworld, and it is a testament to Nanteuil's skill as a draftsman.
