Vignola Stronghold, the Contrari Chapel, Northern wall: "Resurrection" and "Descent into Limbo", fresco by the Master of Vignola, about 1420.
At the center there is the good thief Disma, in the lower right corner Jesus takes Adam's hand. At the feet of Christ, the gates of Hell and the figure of the Devil on the ground. On the left, the snake that changes its skin is a positive symbol of regeneration.
