This detail from Hieronymus Bosch's *The Last Judgement* showcases the artist's signature style of fantastical realism and detailed imagery. The painting depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, where the souls of the damned are tormented by demonic creatures. The work is characterized by its intricate details, such as the grotesque hybrid creatures and the vivid depiction of hellfire. Bosch’s painting is a striking example of the Northern Renaissance style, renowned for its meticulous detail and symbolism, which is a popular subject of study for art historians. The work is housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
