Fall of the Damned
Visions of the Hereafter (1515) by Hieronymus Bosch is a polyptych consisting of two panels depicting religious scenes about sin and judgment. At the Galleria dell'accademia in Venice the panels are ordered, left to right, Fall of the Damned, Hell, Terrestrial Paradise, and Ascent of the Blessed. These visions may have been inspired the 12th century story Vision of Tnugdalus which recounts the odyssey of a knight's soul, or Dante's Divine Comedy, which was translated into Dutch in 1484.
The original arrangement is not known. Some scholars believe that the panels are the wings of a missing middle panel depicting the Last Judgement. Two panels are arguably moments of ascent or descent, leading towards Heaven, depicted as a tunnel of light, or a sort of cliff where souls fall towards Hell. This suggests the order, left to right:
Terrestrial Paradise, depicting a lush garden inhabited by animals and humans, who are visited by angels. The fountain of living waters, a baptismal font, stands on top of the hill.
Ascent of the Blessed, depicting angels guiding saved souls towards a tunnel of light.
Fall of the Damned, depicting souls as they fall helplessly towards Hell.
Hell, depicting the punishment of the wicked, with demons torturing sinners.

Ready to Hang Canvas
Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.
Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

Let customers speak for us
The print is stunning. The quality of the paper, the colors, the sharpness of the image, all are just beautiful. I'm very happy I choses to order from Without a Frame.
Great print that I got in the exact size I needed for a specific space...it was really nicely framed....and really well packaged for shipping. There are a couple other prints I am considering getting now.
Bought the 25x20, impressive size, looks great on the wall
Great looking print, you can really see the detail.
The throw is great quality. The colors are excellent and I appreciate that it is sized proportional to the original without any cropping.
The pillows are excellent quality and amply filled. The skulls have a great texture, and really look great on the couch. Shipping was fast.
All went well...quality product...arrived quickly....well packaged but not overdone.
These pillows are wonderful. They are very well made and coordinate with the throw that I got from the same company. The 2 Dans were great to work with. I was able to customize the pillows to allow them to be mirror images.
We have always loved the woodcut The Wave. Having it in blanket form is special.
