Domenico Beccafumi, Descent into Limbo (c. 1530–1535; etymology 1, noun etymology 1 sense 1).1 It depicts the harrowing of hell in which Jesus Christ (centre, in blue), between his death and resurrection, descends into limbo to free the souls of saints who predeceased him, including the penitent thief (left, with cross (possibly)), Adam (in red), King David (holding lyre), Eve (right), and John the Baptist (background).
