Abstract

enThis dissertation explores the iconography of infernal figures, mainly demons, but also capital sins and the damned, albeit in a more limited way. More specifically, it seeks to identify the sources of inspiration for these figures - theological, mythological, artistic and literary - and how they are extended or renewed. To this end, we examine the major trends in representations and attempt to categorize them.
