Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights: A Triptych of Sin and Salvation
The Garden of Earthly Delights is the best-known work of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. This is a triptych painted in oil, comprising a central panel and two side panels (painted on both sides) which can be closed on the central panel. It is considered that the work reflects a moralizing intention that would have been understandable for the people of the time. In this sense, King Philip II of Spain, soon suspected of heresy, purchased the painting because of his interest in it.
