Summary:

On a dark red-brown background two naked men are entwined, fighting with each other, tremendous and terrible. Strong fingers are digging into pale flesh, muscles are bulging, distorted by the tension, the twist of the bodies. One of them, ferocious and conquering, is standing above the other, dragging his head back, on the verge of bitting into the exposed throat. The savagery of it is heartstopping.
“Dante et Virgile, de William Bouguereau,” says Hannibal à la française, the words easy on his tongue.

Fic and art for the Ravage anthology.

Wow. I've always been fascinated by that painting and it is a perfect choice for Hannibal! The revelation at the end of the fic gave me shivers and makes so much sense! Bravo! (Btw, I'm copying this comment to AO3 too)
