The Garden of Earthly Delights

Jeroen Bosch - The Garden of Earthly Delights (Prado Madrid)

The Garden of Earthly Delights is a triptych by Jeroen (Hieronymus) Bosch (aka El Bosco in Spain), created between 1490 and 1510.  There will be a large exhibition at his place of birth Den Bosch since we're living 500 years after his death in (you guessed it) 1516.
