The Damned Cast to Hell

Signorelli 1499-1504
Fresco, 23' wide
"The Damned Cast to Hell"

This painting stood out to me because of the chaotic depiction of muscular men writhing about in a war-like scene that appears to be on a stage of some sort. The perspective of the people with the angelic warriors above them signals the end of the world. The chaotic element is the most attractive thing about this painting.
