are 4 panels of a further lost polyptych, likely a Last Judgment.
The heavenly assumption of redeemed is linked to literature about cleansing spheres of souls.
Here part of the panel + the tunnel center underpainting.
Imo it shows also a Near Death Experience

*it’s symbol for the Church.

Da Vinci's Last Supper features one knife, belonging to Peter.
Imo this could refer to John 18:10-11, where Peter -later!- cut off Malchus' right ear with his sword during Jesus' arrest.
Now compare Bosch's Ears-War Machine-
Peter’s knife?!

on the Hermit Triptych is dedicated to the painter's namesake.
Bosch preferred meditating hermits as models for the Imitation of Christ.
The saint receives support against the evil pagan world from the crucifix before him.
(In the original design, he held it? ILL. in B&W.)

have 4 tondi on their back.
The painter seems to follow Thomas à Kempis' book the “Imitatio Christi”.
While standing strong and distancing from earthly life,
following Christ & saints is the path to salvation.
The last medaillon shows the Redeemer.

makes the Last Judgment/Wien an original, not a copy.
I even think that Bosch’s sketch can be discerned (purple arrow). Colors are my fantasy.
The person(s) that executed the work were wise in creating more empty spaces + making great scenes!

A comical scene that Bosch used a few times, possibly going back to an old story, is that of the birds escaping from a man’s behind.
It also is a literal depiction of a Dutch proverb.
The drawing has secondary comical scenes,
of children who try to catch the birds!

On the back of Bosch’s drawing “Two Old Women” is a sketch with a Cockerel & Fox, and some Duck parts.
Fortunately we have a painting that shows the outcome!
On the St.Jerome at Prayer, of the MSK Ghent, the Fox is sleeping satisfied, some Cockerel parts nearby.

They are with several examples, from left to right:
Sloth,
Lust,
Wrath,
and
Gluttony.
(I added the man on the bed also to Sloth.)

At first there’s no relationship between these images.
But painter Bosch let the Devil make an abomination to bully pious St.Anthony:
instead of the trad.Pelican feeding its young w blood (so it was thought), he made a Bittern eat its chicken- actually a real thing!

The Palacio Decanal of Tudela, Navarro, has an interesting Last Judgment work, once linked to a Bosch assistant.
It surely contains some elements to be found on Bosch Studio works.
As always: are they copied, but by whom and from what?

RIGHT: in a parody on Hieronymus Bosch’s Anthony triptych of ~1500, at the MNAA Lisbon.
The similarity is evident, even more so than with the Naarden Church version seen in my earlier postings on internet.

A contemporary group made enormous ceiling paintings in the St.Vitus Church of Naarden.
The detail RIGHT shows the same scene.
Interesting is that the wooden block(s) with pins are used differently.
~1510-18AD.

A background scene of Bosch’s “Afterlife” (misnamed Hell) on the Garden triptych is imo similar to a contemporary scene of Naarden’s Great Church ceiling paintings.
A group of people with light/white covering is welcomed by a figure in red at a gate:
St.Peter at the gate to Heaven.

is an ambiguous symbol, even related to Mary and the Church.
But with painter Bosch it’s 90% negative, hinting at stupidity, (Mid)eastern origin, unchristianity and diabolism.
LEFT ILL: <St.Anthony triptych.
An exception is the use combined with Mary as on St. John Baptist on Patmos;R.
