Just clarifying a past bread. I may not have the answer but I do have more questions.
This is a 15th-century painting by Benvenuto di Giovanni titled "Christ in Limbo." (CNS photo/Samuel H. Kress Collection via National Gallery of Art)

Christ stands in an open doorway leading to some sort of liminal space. A portal between this world and another. The heavy wooden door, once concealed within a rock, has been thrust open. Satan lies, squashed underneath.
Within this other world are the faces of many. Huddled together, squished inside. These faces appear forlorn, fatigued, as if they have languished so long, they had begun to wonder if anyone would remember them.
Benvenuto di Giovanni’s painting “Christ in Limbo” captures the split second before these faces realize who is standing before them. Who has come to save them.
The Messiah.
The son of a bricklayer, Benvenuto di Giovanni, born in 1436, lived and worked in Siena, Italy, his entire life.
