Weltgerichtstriptychon
Akademie für bildenden Künste, Vienna

In the foreground, the creation of Eve is shown, followed by the temptation of the First Couple. In the middle distance, Adam and Eve are expelled from Paradise by an Angel. Above, their fall is paralleled by the expulsion from Heaven of the Rebel Angels, who transformed into monsters are drawn to earth.

Bosch depicts in this way the entrance of sin into the world and accounts for the necessity of the Last Judgment.
