| Hieronymus Bosch |
This triptych depicts paradise with Adam and Eve and numerous wonderous animals on the left panel, the earthly delights with many nude figures and tremendous fruit and birds on the middle panel, and hell with depictions of fantastic punishments of the various sinners on the right panel.
Bosch never dated his paintings and signed only some of them. Only about 25 paintings remain today that are attributed to him.
Philip II of Spain bought many of Bosch's paintings after the painter's death.
As a result, the Prado Museum in Madrid now owns several of his works, including the famous Garden of Earthly Delights.
