Garden of Earthly Delights : Hell (right wing) (detail) Garden of Delights : Hell
Unknown
The torments of hell, a dark, icy, yet fiery nightmarish vision, on the right. At the time of his death, Bosch was internationally celebrated as an eccentric painter of religious visions who dealt in particular with the torments of hell. During his lifetime Bosch's works were in the inventories of noble families of the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and they were imitated in a number of paintings and prints throughout the 16th century, especially in the works of Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

Garden of Earthly Delights : Hell (right wing) (detail) Garden of Delights : Hell
Unknown
Several huge musical instruments figure prominently in Bosch's conception of hell. Their relationship to each other bears strongly fanciful elements, and they have been adapted in form. What is more, the use of these instruments is wholly fantastic. There is a human figure stretched across the strings of a harp; another writhes around the neck of a flute, intertwined with a snake; a third peers out of a drum equipped with bird-like feet, the next one plays triangle while reaching out from a hurdy-gurdy, and even the smoking trumpet displays an outstretched human arm.
