Signorelli, Luca (1441-1523)

"The Call to Hell". 1500-1502. Detail showing the Antehell, taken from Dante's description. A group of slothers has a demon bearing a white banner, while in the centre you can see Charon ready to ferry the damned, destined, lower down, to the judgment of Minos. The latter is portrayed when he commits punishment to a damned man by a demon's hair, wrapping his tail around his body as many times as the number of the group he is destined for. Further on, on the "proscenium", a devil with blue flesh makes to hit a damned man by holding his hair: the crudeness of the scene interested Michelangelo, who in fact copied it. Fresco, South wall.
