"Hell" is a fresco by the Italian painter Nardo di Cione, located in the Strozzi Chapel of the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Painted in the mid-14th century, this work is part of a larger ensemble that depicts scenes from the Last Judgment, a common theme in Christian art of the medieval period. Nardo di Cione, the brother of the more famous Andrea di Cione, known as Orcagna, was an important figure in the Florentine art scene of his time, and his work on the Strozzi Chapel is considered one of his most significant contributions.

The fresco of Hell illustrates the torments and despair of the damned souls, as described in Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy," particularly the "Inferno." Nardo di Cione's interpretation of Hell is a vivid representation of the era's theological views and artistic styles, characterized by dramatic expressions, a rich color palette, and meticulous attention to detail. The fresco serves as a visual sermon, intended to remind viewers of the moral consequences of their actions and the stark reality of divine judgment.

In the composition, the damned are depicted in various states of suffering, with demons and monstrous creatures meting out punishments. The fresco's iconography is complex, with different areas representing various circles of Hell, as outlined by Dante. The work is notable for its gothic elements and the way it reflects the transition from medieval to early Renaissance art.

As part of the larger fresco cycle in the Strozzi Chapel, which also includes depictions of Paradise and the Last Judgment, "Hell" by Nardo di Cione is a key example of 14th-century Florentine art and provides valuable insight into the religious and cultural context of the time. The fresco has been studied extensively by art historians and is often cited for its influence on later depictions of eschatological themes in Western art.
