FOLLOWER OF HIERONYMUS BOSCH. Christ's Descent into Hell

Christ's Descent into Hell. Artist: Follower of Hieronymus Bosch (Netherlandish, second quarter 16th century). Dimensions: 21 x 46 in. (53.3 x 116.8 cm). Bosch's fiery hell scenes remained enormously popular throughout Europe in the sixteenth century. A vast, desolate landscape with a burning city at the right and the river Styx at the left is the setting for this nightmarish vision, in which Christ breaks down the gates of hell to rescue the souls of the just. Gesturing in supplication towards him, Adam and Eve kneel on top of a ruinous tower. Behind them, Old Testament figures climb the winding stairs from the depths of hell, among them Abraham and Isaac with the sacrificial ram, and Noah with a model of the ark.
