St. Liberata Triptych 1504

Hieronymus Bosch's "St. Liberata Triptych" (1504) is an oil painting depicting the martyrdom of the Christian saint, Liberata. The central panel shows Liberata crucified, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers and figures engaging in a variety of curious and often grotesque actions. The left panel depicts scenes of violence and persecution, while the right panel presents a seascape with a ship and a fortified city. Bosch's characteristic style is evident in the detailed and intricate imagery, which blends religious symbolism with elements of fantasy and satire.
