I think it's very funny that people have cropped William-Adolphe Bouguereau's "Dante and Virgil" from 1850 for the sexy detail so much that it's possible people think Dante and Virgil ARE these subjects.
When in fact, Dante and Virgil are THESE guys standing to the side looking like a couple of scandalized queens. I love how he's got his robe over his mouth. "Oh my god. They are just Going at it over there."
Anyway this is the full painting!
There is a LOT of great little details in it. It's definitely a huge favourite of mine and not just for the homo eroticism.

Cold and wretched yearning, a violent upheaval
Ravenous accumulation, arteries flowing and folding open

iwtv actually inspired the Dante and Virgil painting. William-Adolphe Bouguereau was a huge Anne Rice fan
