Tony's Boat

A reader at Alan Sepinwall's Sopranos blog "pointed out the similarities between the Eugene Delacroix painting The Barque of Dante and the Annie Leibovitz promotional image on the season five DVD set." Also check out The Doomed Souls embarking to cross the Acheron by Gustave Doré,

Sepinwall's interview with David Chase in today's Star-Ledger debunks the Dante connection.
 
The Dante interpretation is absurd; TV writers don't waste their time with that crap. But Leibovitz was definitely thinking about images of the damned.
