Hell.

Hell.
Chapel of San Brizio.
This chapel was a fifteenth-century addition to the cathedral. The construction of this chapel (also known as the Cappella Nuova and Signorelli chapel) was started in 1408 and completed in 1444.
HERE A DETAIL
The Damned are taken to Hell and received by Demons is in stark contrast to the previous one. Signorelli has gone to the extremes of his fantasy and evocative powers to portray his cataclysmic vision of the horrible fate, the agony and the despair of the damned. He uses the naked human body as his only expressive element, showing the isolated bodies entangling each other, merging in a convoluted mass. They are overpowered by demons in near-human form, depicted in colours of every shade of decomposing flesh. Above them, a flying demon transports a woman. This is probably a depiction of the Whore of the Apocalypse.

A beautiful example of a Doom. Paintings when their betters ruled people with religious carrots and sticks. Religion is not the tool now but otherwise nothing has changed. And at least with religion beautiful objects and music were created
