Last Judgement by Fra Angelico

The condemned, including numerous royals and senior clergy among the commoners, are driven to hell. The torments in hell, as well as the three-headed Satan that eats three human bodies simultaneously, are familiar themes from Dante’s Hell.

Fra Angelico paintings are exhibited in the San Marco Museum in Florence Italy.
