EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling scene from Luca Signorelli's fresco, "Damned to Hell". The detail focuses on a flying demon carrying a prosperous sinner on his shoulders, while looking back towards her with an eerie grin. The demon's satisfaction is evident as he relishes in his prey. Painted between 1500-02, this masterpiece can be found in the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta) in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Specifically located in the Chapel Nova or St. Brizio Chapel, this lunette adorns the east wall of the cathedral interior. The artist skillfully portrays the torment and damnation awaiting sinners through vivid imagery and meticulous attention to detail. Signorelli's brushstrokes bring life to Lucifer himself as he carries his captive through the depths of hell. The composition evokes both fear and fascination as viewers are drawn into this dark narrative. It serves as a reminder of the consequences that await those who succumb to temptation and indulge in sinful pleasures. Ghigo Roli's expert photography beautifully captures every nuance of Signorelli's work, allowing us to appreciate its intricacies even from afar. This print is not only a testament to Roli's talent but also serves as a haunting reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil within religious art during the Renaissance period.
