. However, another great artist has inspired him to create this painting. Whose name is Dante Alighieri. And this Map of Hell is a visual representation of Hell mentioned in Inferno, the first and most talked about book in three books of the fourteenth-century Dante Oligoire's remarkable work of Divine Comedy.

Battichelli depicts Dante's horrific hellish torment in the form of an underground funnel - a place full of fire, sulfur, sewers, monsters, at the heart of which is Satan himself. Hell has been created in 9 cycles. And according to the sins of the sinners, each one is placed in a cycle. The painting is currently housed at the Royal Academy of Arts in London
