Purgatory is a 1404 by Unknown, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a chaotic scene of naked figures reaching upward. Some have wings and horns, while others look scared or in pain. A glowing halo hovers above one person’s head, and a winged figure with a green robe floats at the top. The painting mixes angels and demons in one space, suggesting a story about judgment or suffering. The bright red flames and rough lines make it feel intense.
