The Map of Hell (Chart of Dante's Inferno) – Sandro Botticelli
Sandro Botticelli, c.1485. Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vatican City.
Hell opens like a vast funnel plunging into the earth, ring after ring of torment drawn in miniature: the river of boiling blood, the burning tombs of the heretics, and at the very bottom Lucifer frozen in ice. Made for a luxury illustrated edition of Dante's Divine Comedy, it rewards close looking, as tiny figures of Dante and Virgil reappear on their descent through all nine circles.
