The Abyss of Hell is a pen and brush on vellum painting by Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510), created in c. 1485. Measuring 47 × 32 cm, it depicts the biblical scene from Revelation 20:11-15. This painting is housed at Biblioteca Apostolica.
I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
