Jheronimus Bosch ca. 1450 – 1516
The Last Judgement
oil on panel (164 × 247 cm) — c. 1482 or later
Gemäldegalerie of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna
This work is linked to Revelation 14:8
Triptych by Hieronymus Bosch. The left wing tells the story of Adam and Eve: the creation of man, the eating of the apple and the expulsion from Paradise.
The center panel shows the Last Judgment, a popular medieval subject. Seated in heaven, Jesus decides who will go to Hell and who will enter Heaven. The earth is on fire and strange creatures capture the remaining sinners.
The right wing shows Hell, destination of the doomed.
Cornelis Anthonisz 1505 – 1553
The Fall of the Tower of Babel
etching (31 × 37 cm) — 1547
This work is linked to Revelation 14:8
Impressive etching by Cornelis Anthonisz., a multi-talented artist from Amsterdam. In that city he is still well-known for his detailed maps of the late-medieval city.
The text in the top right reads 'Babelon / Genesis 14'. Originally it read Genesis 11, which makes more sense as that is the chapter where the construction of the tower and the punishment are described. The number 14 probably refers to the chapter about the Last Judgment in the Book of Revelation.
The tower is destroyed by winds and fire from heaven, announced on trumpet by an angel. In the foreground people lay mortally wounded by falling masonry while others flee in all directions.
The text in the top left banner is somewhat strange: "When it was at its highest / it should not do fall". The stone in the bottom left is inscribed with the date 1547.
