Hell/the Underworld was featured in a number of painting during this period, mainly in those images detailing the Last Judgement from the Book of Revelations in the Bible. Deceptions of the afterlife are mainly Christian as it was the Church that were paying artists. Most pieces show damnation similar to what was depicted in Dante's
Inferno.
