Christ in LimboPupil of Perin del Vaga and Cornelis Loots

This fresco (c. 1545) depicts Christ’s descent into Limbo to free the righteous. His forward stride and commanding gesture embody the moment of redemption, while the surrounding figures express awe and relief. Originally adorning the Torre di Paolo III in the Campidoglio, the work was later detached and restored in tempera, preserving its message of divine victory over death.
