Dante told the tale first: of Francesca, who falls in love with her husband\u2019s beautiful younger brother, Paolo, and is killed alongside him when her husband discovers the enraptured couple exchanging a kiss. In The Divine Comedy<\/em>, Dante condemns the lovers to wander forever in the second circle of hell. Rodin, meanwhile, chose to immortalise the pair in one of his best-known sculptures, The Kiss<\/em>, and depicts them in the erotically charged moment when their lips are about to meet for the first time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
