Адовы Уста (Hell Mouth) -графика, миниатюры, скульптура.

Leyden,Lucas van
The maw of hell devouring the damned. Right wing of the triptych The Last Judgement. (1526-1527) 


After Pieter Bruegel the Elder 1561

Уста адовы (Hell Mouth)-греческое "στόμα αδου"- популярный в средневековой иконографии мотив — изображение ворот ада в виде развёрстой пасти чудовища. В XII—XIII веке распространяется по всей Европе (особенно в таких сюжетах, как «Страшный суд» и «Сошествие во ад»).

И отличная подборка kardiologn, редкие картинки и миниатюры, очень советую посмотреть: 

Страшный суд-ТУТ


Есть два основных иконографических типа:
грешники падают сверху в раскрытую пасть, помещаемую внизу композиции;
либо уста располагают горизонтально и грешники входят в них (либо выводятся Христом в иконографии сошествия во ад).
Этот сюжет изображался в миниатюре, графике, живописи и скульпптуре.
