"Tabletop of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things" is a painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, or to a follower of his workshop. Created sometime between 1500 and 1525, the artwork is an oil on wood panel that serves as a visual representation of Christian moral themes. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, and is considered one of Bosch's most intriguing and complex works due to its detailed depiction of human vices and the consequences of sin.

The central panel of the painting is circular and depicts the Seven Deadly Sins, each illustrated within its own pie-wedge-shaped compartment radiating from a central image of the eye of God, with Christ watching over humanity. The sins represented are wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, and pride. Each scene is a cautionary tale, showcasing the moral decay and the spiritual dangers associated with succumbing to these vices.

Surrounding the central tableau are four small rectangular panels that illustrate the 'Four Last Things'—Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell—themes that were commonly contemplated in Christian doctrine and art of the period. These scenes serve as a reminder of the eternal consequences of one's earthly actions and the ultimate fate that awaits every soul.

The outermost border of the painting is inscribed with a warning in Latin, which translates to "Beware, Beware, God Sees." This inscription reinforces the overarching message of the artwork: that God observes all, and that sinful behavior will not go unnoticed or unpunished.

The authorship of "Tabletop of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things" has been a subject of debate among art historians. While some features are consistent with Bosch's style and thematic preoccupations, others suggest the involvement of his workshop or followers. Regardless of its precise authorship, the painting remains a significant example of Northern Renaissance art and a testament to the enduring fascination with moral and eschatological subjects during this period.

The work's intricate detail, symbolic complexity, and moralistic content are characteristic of Bosch's oeuvre, inviting viewers to engage in self-reflection and moral contemplation. Its allegorical representation of sin and redemption continues to captivate audiences and scholars, making it a vital piece for the study of Bosch's artistic legacy and the cultural context of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance.
