Yes, I too was fixated on this stunning picture. The details are beyond amazing. I love H. Bosch! It was a must to visit this fabulous rich-filled fine art museum with many other treasures.
I made it everywhere within the museum when I visited solo- no distractions. Spent much longer than expected because I was enthralled with the art and wanted our group to experience the same. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Berthe
it is impossible to get into the mind of Hieronymus Bosch . I was fascinated by his painting of the Garden of Earthly Delights in the Prado in Madrid. I had written a paper about it in Art History. Over fifty years ago I was able to see it and convinced the guards to close the painting so I could see the back panels. They have recently updated the gallery to allow viewers to see the back panels similar to the exhibit in Lisbon of the Temptation of St. Anthony. Your appreciation of Bosch, Luis de Camoes and Damiao de Gois gives me a new view of how your mind works. Thanks for sharing.

The painter high on mushrooms? Had to be! Funny and fascinating commentary, Andrew . . .
