THE PRINCE OF HELL

Violent chaos sweeps through the scene. Sitting on a throne, a blue-coloured monster with a bird’s head devours the damned to cast them into a dark pit. The large cauldron it holds over its head, similar to a globe, symbolises its voracious appetite. He is the Prince of Hell. At his feet, other sins are also punished, according to the implacable law of retribution: laziness, in the figure of the man lying in bed being dragged by a demon; gluttony, in the figure of the man condemned to vomit on his knees at the edge of the abyss; greed, in the figure of the miserable man forced to defecate his gold coins; arrogance, in the figure of the woman forced to see her reflection in the buttocks of a strange creature. And vanity, will vanity be punished for wearing these earrings?
