Dear George
Glass of 1210-15 at Bourges, the Last Judgement window, has an image of a bishop among a group of those being led of to Hell; see:

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
Yet again, a student has asked
a question for which I have no answer: up to around the time of Dante (d.1321),
would there have been paintings or other images depicting popes — or bishops, or
other clergy for that matter, but especially popes — in Hell? There are some
depictions of Dante’s Inferno that show this, of course, but the question is
whether people could have seen such images before having read, or been told
about, Dante’s literary creation.
Many thanks for your help!
Best wishes,
George
