"Harrowing of Hell" is a 1909 watercolor painting by Nicholas Roerich depicting the biblical story of Christ's descent into hell. This scene is part of the larger narrative of Christ's resurrection and the harrowing of hell is one of the key moments. This painting is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. Roerich's "Harrowing of Hell" presents a simplified and stylized interpretation of the scene, emphasizing Christ's triumph over death and the deliverance of souls.
