In the Cchoir of the main nave of the church of St. Denis Cathedral the is a tomb with a bs relief depicting a scene that takes place in Hell.
You can see various persons, that represents souls, heading in a boat to Hell.
At a time when very few people could read and the copies of the Bible were not generally available . These bas-relief sculptures were meant to convey the meaning of the Gospels to the illiterate masses. Thus it is wholly appropriate that these images be placed where medieval people would see them.
