• Resumen

  • In 1840 a portrait of Dante Alighieri was found in the Bargello Palace. The poet’s presence among the Elect in Heaven, painted on the altar wall of the Magdalen Chapel, has generally been accepted by Dante scholarship until the Seventies of the last century. Since then, however, this has been far from a straightforward issue, and thus deserves reconsideration. This article examines the extent to which the claim of that presence may find confirmation through a purely historical analysis of the Florentine context.
