Visions of the Hereafter: Fall of the Damned into Hell is a 1496 oil by Hieronymus Bosch, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Doge's Palace.
This painting shows a dark, chaotic scene. People are falling through the air, some with their arms and legs outstretched. They seem to be in distress. The background is dark, with hints of red and orange. In the bottom-right corner, a figure appears to be reaching out or falling. It's hard to tell because the painting is so dark and crowded. If you want to learn more about the artist who created this painting, look up Hieronymus Bosch.
Fall of the Damned into Hell is a painting by the Early Netherlandish artist Hieronymus Bosch made sometime before 1490. It is currently in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. This painting is part of a four-panel polyptych; the others are Ascent of the Blessed, Terrestrial Paradise and Hell.
