As early as the 12th century, European artists imagined the entrance to Hell as a monstrous mouth devouring the damned. In this vividly illustrated talk with art historian Brenda Edgar, we’ll explore how gluttony—one of the seven deadly sins—was visualized from the Middle Ages through the Baroque, with overeaters condemned to eternal digestion by beasts like Cerberus or Satan himself. From force-feeding to infernal feasting, join us for a deep dive into the dark, digestive symbolism of Hell in European art.
