Throughout history, there have been many interpretations of what hell. I find it really interesting that no two artists depict hell the same way. In this painting, in particular, I like the contrast between the angels above and the 'demons' below. the concept that these tough soldiers angels are dropping sinners into hell and that in 'hell' you can't tell the difference between whos a human and whos a demon. another thing to notice is that hell isn't your typical red and flames it looks like earth. The colors used in this painting are very earthy and human-like which adds to the creepiness.
