It should be recalled that there is very little iconography linked to this legend, which nevertheless has some characteristics that would seem to favor representation : an emphasis on a terrestrial entryway, geographically located in the afterlife, numerous descriptions of locations, a highly individualized hero, etc. Nevertheless, the difficulty in creating an image seems above all to lie in the representation of the transitory nature of purgatory in relation to hell. The study demonstrates that painters represented punishments rather than a particular place and took from the texts an interpellating dimension, following the demonstrative and persuasive reasoning of texts.Cairn free access
