"Dante meets Beatrice" is a pencil drawing by German artist Gustav Heinrich Naeke, who lived from 1786 to 1835. The drawing depicts a scene from Dante Alighieri's epic poem "The Divine Comedy", specifically "Paradiso," Canto XXX. In the drawing, Dante, crowned with laurel, is seated on a rock and gazing at Beatrice, who is walking towards him, accompanied by an angel. This drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Naeke's artistic style, which often drew inspiration from literary and mythological themes.
