About Hell
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.
