The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things (detail) 1500

"The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things" is a detail of a larger work by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, created around 1500. This particular section depicts a scene from the Last Judgment, showing a multitude of angels and devils, and the souls they are leading to their respective fates. The artist's trademark fantastical imagery and meticulous detail is on display in this scene, which features an array of bizarre creatures and intricate architectural elements. Bosch's work is known for its allegorical and moralistic themes, reflecting the anxieties and preoccupations of the late medieval era. This detail is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.
