"Death and the Miser" is a painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch, believed to have been completed around 1490. The work is a moralizing piece that reflects the complexities of human temptation and the choices faced at the moment of death. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

The painting is executed in oil on a wooden panel and is part of a series of works by Bosch that depict themes of sin, morality, and redemption. "Death and the Miser" is particularly notable for its vivid and detailed portrayal of the struggle between good and evil for the soul of a dying man, a common theme in medieval and Renaissance art.

The composition of the painting is divided into two main sections. The foreground shows a miser on his deathbed, surrounded by the material wealth he has accumulated throughout his life. An angel and a demon vie for his attention, symbolizing the choice between salvation and damnation. The background of the painting extends the narrative, with a depiction of death personified as a skeleton entering the room, reminding the viewer of the inevitability of mortality.

Bosch's use of symbolism is evident throughout the painting, with various objects representing the transient nature of earthly possessions and the folly of greed. The inclusion of a toad, a symbol of evil, and a crucifix, a symbol of salvation, further emphasize the moral message of the artwork.

"Death and the Miser" is considered an important work within Bosch's oeuvre and is often studied for its complex iconography and its reflection of the religious and cultural beliefs of the time. The painting's enigmatic and allegorical nature continues to intrigue scholars and art enthusiasts, contributing to Bosch's reputation as one of the most fascinating and mysterious artists of the Northern Renaissance.
