At the lower center, Enrico Scrovegni presents the Virgin with a model of the chapel. On the other side of the cross, a man is being undressed. Getting naked seemed to have been seen as the first step into hell. The man hanging nearby with his guts spilled represents Judas.
Dante and Scrovegni
The Last Judgment fresco is often described as “straight out of Dante,” but Giotto’s Scrovegni Chapel masterpiece preceded Dante’s Divine Comedy. After its publication, Satan is more commonly portrayed with three faces, eating humans through all three mouths simultaneously.
Dante was familiar with the Scrovegni Chapel. The frescoes here possibly encouraged him to place Enrico Scrovegni’s father, Reginaldo, in the 7th circle of hell for his sin of usury.
