Orvieto, Basilica Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta

Caption

Orvieto, Basilica Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (or Duomo), the interior, Chapel Nova or St. Brizio Chapel, the lunette of the east wall: "Damned to hell", fresco by Luca Signorelli, (1500 - 1502). Detail of a shapely woman raised against her will by a blue demon with a horn in his forehead: it is a self-portrait by Signorelli, evidently alluding to a "private" story with the blonde woman, who perhaps was unfaithful to him.
