What Dante Alighieri Really Looked Like
A lot of the portraits which were created of Dante Alighieri are really similar, so it seems that most people agreed upon his likeness. This helped in creating the CGI rendering of him, which has the same hooked nose and stern face common in a lot of the depictions of him. This was created by taking measurements of his skull which was found back in 1920. Compared to his portraits, this rendering shows him with bigger eyes, a softer facial expression, and a more rounded jaw.
