칠죄종과 최후의 네 가지 일

This tabletop was painted in the Netherlands around 1500, in a workshop that either was Hieronymus Bosch's or belonged to a close follower of his, and scholars still argue about which. It's built like a great staring eye. A wide ring is divided into seven scenes of ordinary people committing the seven deadly sins, drunkards, gluttons, a couple quarrelling, a man dozing in sloth, everyday sin caught in everyday clothes. At the center, in the pupil of the eye, Christ rises from his tomb, and around him runs a warning in Latin, beware, beware, God sees. In the four corners sit the Four Last Things a person was told to keep in mind, death, judgment, heaven and hell. In 2015 a team of Bosch specialists decided the hand wasn't his and reassigned it to a follower, and the Prado, which owns it, publicly disagreed. It hangs there now in a sealed case.
