Doomsday paintings were used around 1100. The Church services were in Latin so many people couldn't understand them- so they created Doomsday Paintings. They depicted people who were in Purgatory (in the middle of heaven and hell) and all the horrible things that happened their. This encouraged people to behave and want to go to heaven.
