Thanks, that was it. I must have missed it because in my memory (of five years ago) it was the first post of a new thread. The crucial part I was interested in is the fish as the mouth of hell, for which Rene refers to Velinska.
I was reminded of this hypothesis when I came across the following fresco:

This is from the Santa Caterina basilica, Galatina (Apulia). This is all the way down in the "heel" of Italy's boot. The city has an extensive Wiki in Italian, but only a few lines in English. Yet the frescos of its basilica almost rival those in Assisi.
Note how in this type of art, the souls of the dead who are not (yet) in heaven are represented by nude, blond women.
