  • Descrição: At about the same time as its text was illustrated, depictions of hell's various torments start appearing on church walls: snakes, for instance, bite a slanderer's tongue or suck at the breasts of a woman who has failed to nurse her children. Architectural plans specify the position of infernal scenes (found most often in the western part of church buildings, farthest from the altar). [...]documented, the Cretan material forms an unparalleled and truly invaluable resource for all students of Christian art. The essays here offer fine examples of descriptive prose (‘the women have pendulous breasts with articulated nipples’, ‘a dynamic nude dangles above a little fire’, ‘demons lead a long, sad chain of naked and fettered souls’, etc.) and present, in the case of Laconia, many a little-known specimen of infernal iconography.
