The delicate brushstrokes bring life to the first man and woman as they bask in divine harmony. In contrast, the central panel titled "The Garden of Earthly Delights" presents a surreal tableau where lovers indulge in earthly pleasures amidst an abundance of fruits. This vibrant composition invites contemplation on desire, temptation, and the fleeting nature of pleasure itself. Bosch's exploration takes us even further with "The Hell, " the right panel from "The Garden of Earthly Delights. " Here we witness nightmarish scenes depicting sinners tormented by grotesque creatures in an infernal landscape. Through his vivid imagination, Bosch confronts humanity with its darkest impulses while urging introspection and redemption.

In his detailed depictions like "The Temptation of Antony Abbot, " he brings forth narratives inspired by religious texts or ancient tales. These smaller panels showcase his ability to create intricate compositions filled with symbolic elements that invite interpretation. Among his other notable works are the Triptych of Job panels which explore themes related to suffering and resilience through biblical stories. Each scene reveals Bosch's mastery over color palettes and textures while conveying profound messages about human endurance. Even when examining details from larger compositions like those found in "The Last Judgement, " Bosch's attention to minute elements is evident.
