Here the artist combines principles of angst and damnation in an evocative piece chronicling Innocent VIII's descent into the final circle of hades. The eyes cry futility.
"But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments, If you
despise my laws, and contemn my judgements so as not to do those things
which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant: I also will
do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and
burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You
shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies. I will set
my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and
shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man
pursueth you."
