Sibylle de Cumes
The hell scenes deal with different subjects: one sets out all the tortures of inferno, two deal with the story of Pluto and Proserpina from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and two include a depiction of the seven deadly sins. Four pictures show the entrance to hell and two of these include the story of Aeneas with the Cumaean Sibyl from Virgil's "Aeneid". These references to Ovid and Virgil were not original and were clearly derived from the work of the Flemish painter Jan Brueghel the Elder who had been a pioneer of the hell scene.
