Heaven and Hell by Octave Tassaert: A painting depicting a chaotic scene with multiple naked figures. Most of the bodies are densely packed in the lower half of the image. Some are looking up. A few are on fire. Some have serpent-like creatures wrapped around them. A few figures are elevated on a cloud in the upper half. Some are angels. The background has a large archway. The sky is cloudy and has shades of blue, gray, and yellow.
