This dramatic painting depicts a complex, multi-layered vision of the underworld or hell, rendered in dark tones with striking bursts of fiery red and orange. The composition is structured like a cross-section of a subterranean realm, with numerous caves, archways, and terraced levels carved into dark rock. Throughout these spaces, small pale figures engage in various acts of torment and suffering. The central focal point is a large vertical column of intense red flame that rises through the middle of the scene. The architecture features stone bridges, staircases, and vaulted chambers that create a maze-like environment. Each level contains different scenes of punishment, with figures arranged in various poses of agony or despair. The lighting creates sharp contrasts between the dark caverns and the glowing fires that illuminate various corners of this infernal landscape. The overall effect is of a meticulously organized chaos, where every level and chamber serves as a stage for eternal damnation, fitting the title's suggestion of revealed punishment or judgment.
