Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), The Last Judgment, triptych (1504-08), central panel, detail.
Weltgerichtstriptychon
Akademie für bildenden Künste, Vienna
A spatulate bird-like monster on humanoid legs carries its victim, pierced by an arrow and suspended from a stick with a soaked sponge at the end, dripping above the victim’s head, as to keep him alive. A disembodied head dressed in a rag scuttles behind on a pair of stolen stubby feet.
