The Haywain, triptych

Prado Madrid

Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), The Haywain (1500-1502), triptych, oil on panel, central panel 135x100 cm, wings 135x45 cm.
Prado Museum, Madrid.

The left wing presents the Creation and Fall of Man, comparable with that of the Vienna Last Judgement, however shown in a reversed sequence.
In the central panel, a haywain trundling across the landscape, symbolizes the sins of human avarice, pride and lust, and is pulled by devils and demons in the direction of the right wing, while Christ appearing high overhead seems clearly distant from the scene below.
The right wing finally pictures hell.
