“An unfinished centre panel,
(see Surtees, Dantis Amor (of the same dimensions as the left and right panels), representing the figure of Love, separated the left panel depicting The Meeting of Dante and Beatrice in Florence from the panel on the right, The Meeting of Dante and Beatrice in Paradise.
