Fall of the Damned into Hell is a Hieronymus Bosch painting made sometime before 1490. It is currently in the Palazzo Ducale, in Venice, Italy.
This painting is part of a series of four; the others are Ascent of the Blessed, Terrestrial Paradise and Hell.
Death and the Miser is a Hieronymus Bosch painting. It is currently in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The painting is the inside of the right panel of a divided triptych. The other existing portions of the triptych are The Ship of Fools and Allegory of Gluttony and Lust, while The Wayfarer was painted on the external right panel.
Death and the Miser belongs to the tradition of the memento mori, works that remind the viewer of the inevitability of death. The painting shows the influence of popular 15th-century handbooks on the art of dying, intended to help Christians choose Christ over sinful pleasures. As Death looms, the miser, unable to resist worldly temptations, reaches for the bag of gold offered by a demon, even while an angel points to a crucifix from which a slender beam of light descends.
There are references in the painting to dichotomous modes of life. A crucifix is set on the only window of the room. A thin ray of light is directed down to the bottom of the large room, which is darkened. A demon holding an ember lurks over the dying man, waiting for his hour. Death is dressed in flowing robes that may be a subtle allusion to a prostitute's garb.
Death of the Reprobate is an oil on panel painting by Hieronymus Bosch which depicts the deathbed struggle for the human soul between an angel and a demon. The style is somewhat similar to his Death of the Miser. It is held in a private collection in New York, United States.
The painting is likely a copy of detail from a larger hell panel. It dates from the second half of the 16th century.
Crucifixion With a Donor is a painting by Hieronymus Bosch believed to be painted between 1480 and 1485. The painting resides at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.
Ship of Fools is a painting by Hieronymus Bosch exemplifying the human condition. It dates from c. 1490-1500 and is now on display in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. The painting is dense in symbolism and is indebted to, if not actually satirical of Albrecht Dürer's frontispiece of Sebastian Brant's book of the same name.
The surviving painting is a fragment of a triptych that was cut into several parts. The Ship of Fools was painted on one of the wings of the altarpiece, and is about two thirds of its original length. The bottom third of the panel belongs to Yale University Art Gallery and is exhibited under the title Allegory of Gluttony. The wing on the other side, which has more or less retained its full length, is the Death and the Miser, now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.. The two panels together would have represented the two extremes of prodigiality and miserliness, condemning and caricaturing both.
Christ Carrying the Cross is a painting by Hieronymus Bosch, executed in the 1480s. It is at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, in Vienna, Austria.
Christ Child with a Walking Frame is painted on the back of this painting.
