Barlowe's Inferno

Best-selling science fiction and fantasy artist Wayne Barlowe abandons his popular illustrative style and adopts a classic painterly technique in these images of Hell's structures, iconographies, and inhabitants. In "Barlowe's Hell," he incorporates the visual myths from many religions to present a chilling and beautiful collection of carefully researched and rendered artwork whose bizarre images conatin symbolic references to age-old beliefs and practices. These are works reminiscent of painter John Martin, whose own vistas of Hell hang in the world's finest museums.
