Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), The Last Judgment, triptych (1504-08), left wing, detail. Weltgerichtstriptychon Akademie für bildenden Künste, Vienna Canon EOS 7D The fall of Adam and Eve is paralleled by the expulsion from Heaven of the Rebel Angels, who transformed into monsters are drawn to earth. Bosch depicts in this way the entrance of sin into the world and accounts for the necessity of the Last Judgment.
Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), The Last Judgment, triptych (1486), oil on wood, right wing, detail. Groeninge Museum, Bruges. A striking scene here is a large cauldron on wheels, boiling a monk and a nun, and pulled by a helmeted figure, riding a cow, whose horns are fixed to the wooden rudimentary waggon. The cow-riding man, holding an eucharistic chalice, inevitably evokes a corresponding scene in the left wing of Bosch’s The Haywain (see www.flickr.com/photos/snarfel/5933329538/).
Make a book of pretty much any type. I used a coptic stitch because it was a common structure to be used in the later medieval periods. Most books in this period had wooden covers in order to handle the stress and wear. Once you have a book you will need to cut out a piece of leather The top will double the cover and 4/3 of the cover and then the text block. The lower width will be a bit more than the vertical of the cover. Leave a long tail the width of double the cover and a good length. Sew along the dashed lines and put a knot on the end of the tail. When you put the book into the cover the tail of the book goes towards the tail.
Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), The Last Judgment, triptych (1504-08), central panel, 163 x 128 cm, wings 163 x 60 cm. Weltgerichtstriptychon Akademie für bildenden Künste, Vienna Canon EOS 7D In the left wing, the creation of Eve, the temptation of the First Couple, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise is shown. The central panel represents the earth in her final death throes. In the view of Bosch, earth has become indistinguishable from Hell, depicted on the right wing. Therefore, the agony during earthly life is mainly one of physical torment. The right wing represents the actual Hell, where the army of Satan swarms to attack the damned, the beginning of eternal torment. For several details of the painting, see next pictures
