What is the purpose of Hieronymus Bosch the Garden of Earthly Delight?

Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights" illustrates the consequences of bodily sins. In parts of the painting, people are shown indulging in the sins of the flesh, including gluttony and promiscuity. In the final part of the painting, they are paying for their sins in hell, where demons are torturing them.

Where did Michelangelo include a self-portrait in the Last judgment?

In the center of the painting is Jesus himself, who decides if half the human race joins him in Heaven, or must be sentenced to Hell for the rest of their afterlife. A lot of people are typically confused by The Last Judgment because of the fact that there is a lot going on at the same time. If looked closely, the top half represents those who are saints, angels and those who will go to Heaven, while the bottom still has those who are being resurrected or going to Hell on a boat led by a demon. All in all, this has to be the most complex painting Michelangelo has ever made.


Is there a painting depicting the alleagory that shows the difference between heaven and hell by means of people eating with long spoons and the hell side starving and the heaven side sated?

Well, im not sure if it's a painting, but have heard about it. The story goes that on one side(Hell) All these people were sitting around a big pot of delicouse soup, the best-tasting soup ever. The only way they could eat it was by using long, big ladles that they were holding. They wanted to eat the soup, yet they were starving. On the other side (heaven) More people were sitting around another pot of the same soup, with the exact same lades, but they were as happy as could be, and well-fed. They ate the soup whenever they were hungry, and enjoyed it. So, why was one group happy and the other starving. Because the people in the first group (hell) were selfish and focused only on helping themselves, and they couldn't feed themselves because the ladles were too big and long, wereas the people in the second group (heaven) had learned that the only way to eat the soup was to feed each other. I hoped this helped, and I hope I told it right! :)
