I wonder what Dante would think of it. I'm thinking he'd say it's too colorful and happy. 
"The Treasures of Satan" by Jean Deville (1867-1953). The depiction of Satan under water was a first in Western Art. Instead of wings he has long octopus tentacles. His 'treasures' are the sleeping figures surrounded with jewels & gold coins; representing materialism & avarice.pic.twitter.com/jO0dNs0Rh2

I suspect you're right. It's also a bit sunny and firey for being under water, come to think of it

Read Alan Moore's Providence lately and he mentioned this painting... Probably one the things that influenced Lovecraft's Cthulhu.

I remember finding a book about symbolist painting in my school library and seeing this painting in it and being absolutely fascinated by it.
-
I wonder what scale these paintings are?
