Paper Summary:

This paper explores the odd history and works of fifteenth century Flemmish painter, Heironymous Bosch. The paper specifically ruminates (with citations from art scholars) the meaning of the work his painting "The Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things". The paper looks at the use of religious iconography in the painting.

From the Paper:

"Born c. 1450, little is known about the Flemish painter Hieronymus Bosch. Still less is known about his work. All of Bosch's paintings are signed, but none of them are dated, leading many art historians to believe that much of "Bosch's work" was actually done by students who were also skilled in copying their teacher's signature. Among the handful of works considered to have been rendered by Bosch's own hand is the "Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things." Wilhem Fraenger, author of the comprehensive work "Hieronymus Bosch", did the first true study of this work. Fraenger renamed the piece "The Table of Wisdom", which is the title the painting now has in the museum at Prado, Madrid. Fraenger also makes the most interesting case for the painting, claiming that its place and purpose-accentuated by its style and elements-went over and above the culture of its time."
