Always a great source of inspiration for monsters, Hell has been interpreted by countless artists in many gruesome and fantastic ways. While browsing the Wikimedia Commons I found some great galleries of art based on the Last Judgement, Hell, and The Devil.Click the following numbers to see some of my favorites.

Very interesting. Wikimedia is an unvaluable resource... I didn't know Coppo di Marcovaldo at all. Thank you.
The History of Hell by Alice K. Turner has most of these images, and a lot more great ones.
it's a very interesting book as well.
