Image description

The interior, Chapel Nova or St. Brizio Chapel, southern wall A group of slothers has a demon bearing a white banner, while in the centre you can see Charon ready to ferry the damned, destined, lower down, to the judgment of Minos. The latter is portrayed when he commits punishment to a damned man by a demon's hair, wrapping his tail around his body as many times as the number of the group he is destined for. Further on, on the "proscenium", a devil with blue flesh makes to hit a damned man by holding his hair: the crudeness of the scene interested Michelangelo, who in fact copied it. Orvieto, Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (o Duomo), interno, Cappella Nova o di San Brizio, parete sud, dietro l'altare: "Chiamata all'inferno", affreschi di Luca Signorelli 1500 - 1504. Particolare in cui si vede l'Antinferno, tratto dalla descrizione dantesca. Un gruppo di ignavi ricorre infatti un demone che porta uno stendardo bianco, mentre al centro si vede Caronte pronto a traghettare i dannati, destinati, più in basso, al giudizio di Minosse. Quest'ultimo è ritratto nel momento in cui commina la pena a un dannato tenuto per i capelli da un demone, avvolgendo la propria coda attorno al corpo tante volte quanto è il numero del girone a cui è destinato. Più avanti, sul "proscenio", un diavolo dalle carni azzurrine fa per colpire un dannato tenendolo per i capelli: la crudezza della scena interessò Michelangelo, che infatti la copiò.
