Image description

Beatrice leads Dante into the Empyrean, or highest level of heaven, where he beholds the angles and souls of the blessed forming a snow white rose in attendance upon the Deity (Paradiso: XXXI, 1-3): Canto XXXI lines 1-3 'In fashion as a snow white rose, lay then / Before my view the saintly multitude, / Which in his own blood Christ espoused'. Dante and Beatrice contemplating the rose, symbolising divine love, in which souls of the faithful are enthroned in the Tenth Sphere of Heaven. Taken from The Vision of Purgatory and Paradise by Dante Alighieri, Published by Cassell and Company Ltd in 1893, p. 15.
