by Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510).
The “Mappa dell’Inferno” (“Map of Hell”) by Botticelli, regularly called “The Abyss of Hell” or “La voragine dell’Inferno” is one of the parchments that the famous Italian painter designed to illustrate an edition of The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
The structure of hell created by Dante and designed by Botticelli is shaped like an inverted cone—like a funnel—which degrades with its nine circles to the center of the Earth, in which Lucifer is embedded. In each circle, the damned are punished for a specific sin.
