The Last Judgment

Vienna

Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), The Last Judgment, triptych (1504-08), central panel, 163 x 128 cm, wings 163 x 60 cm.
Weltgerichtstriptychon
Akademie für bildenden Künste, Vienna

In the left wing, the creation of Eve, the temptation of the First Couple, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise is shown.

The central panel represents the earth in her final death throes. In the view of Bosch, earth has become indistinguishable from Hell, depicted on the right wing. Therefore, the agony during earthly life is mainly one of physical torment.

The right wing represents the actual Hell, where the army of Satan swarms to attack the damned, the beginning of eternal torment.
