As a background I am using Bosch's The Cure of Folly.
The Garden of Earthly Delight was painted by Hieronymus Bosch around
1504. It consists of four parts:
The Garden (cover) is from the shutters which cover the triptych and
depicts the third
day of creation.
The Garden (right) is the right wing of the triptych and depicts Hell. It
is probably one
of his most memorable images.
The Garden (middle) is the middle wing of the triptych and depicts
"Ecclesia's Paradise."
The Garden (left) is the left wing of the triptych and depicts "The
Earthly Paradise."
The Temptation of St. Anthony was painted around 1510 by Hieronymus
Bosch. This tryptych describes the ordeals of St. Anthony. Note that in
the 16th century, temptation not only had the meaning it has today, but
also meant physical and mental assault by demons. So St. Anthony is not
only tempted by the pleasures of the flesh, etc., but he is also beaten
up and terrorized by the demons. Here are the other two panels: Right
and Left side.

To see a fantastic detailed picture of the Hell panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights, click on the Da Vinci below. But be warned. It is HUGE(703K) and may take awhile to load.
