Christ in Limbo[1] (c. 1575), follower of Bosch, in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
- When he came to the edge of darkness like some splendid, terrible raider, the impious infernal legions, terrified as they gazed on him, began to ask: ‘Whence is he, so strong, so terrible, so splendid, so noble? . . . Who then is this, who comes to our gates so boldly, and not only has no fear of our torments but also frees others from our chains? -Jacobus de Voragine, Golden Legend, about 1260
