This poignant image, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, transports us to the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. The scene unfolds with great detail and emotion as we witness Shelley's lifeless body being cast ashore after a fatal boating accident. The tombstone stands tall and solemn, marking the final resting place for this literary genius.

This powerful print was originally published in The Graphic on December 26th, 1885, serving as an illustration that immortalized Shelley's untimely demise. It serves as a haunting reminder of both his brilliance and his tragic fate. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the profound impact that Percy Bysshe Shelley had on literature and poetry during his short but influential life.
