"The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things" is a painting attributed to Hieronymus Bosch, a Dutch painter known for his use of fantastic imagery to illustrate moral and religious concepts and narratives. Created around 1480, this work is considered one of Bosch's early pieces, showcasing his interest in the themes of sin, morality, and redemption that would pervade his later works. The painting is executed in oil on wood panel and is currently housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain.

The artwork is structured around a central circular tableau, divided into seven compartments, each depicting one of the seven deadly sins: Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy, and Gluttony. These scenes are rendered with Bosch's characteristic attention to detail and symbolic complexity, inviting viewers to contemplate the moral consequences of succumbing to these vices. Surrounding the central circle are four smaller circles, illustrating the "Four Last Things" – Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell – themes that are recurrent in Christian eschatology and were of significant concern in medieval and Renaissance Europe.

Bosch's depiction of the seven deadly sins employs a mixture of everyday scenes and fantastical elements, making the work accessible to a contemporary audience while also imbuing it with a timeless quality. His use of imagery, drawn from both biblical sources and popular folklore, reflects the cultural and religious anxieties of his time, particularly the preoccupation with sin and the fate of the soul after death.

The painting is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its didactic purpose. Bosch intended this work to serve as a visual sermon, warning viewers against the moral decay represented by the sins and urging them towards the path of righteousness. The intricate details and symbolic motifs invite careful scrutiny, allowing the painting to engage viewers in a contemplative dialogue about the nature of human conduct and the possibility of redemption.

"The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things" exemplifies Bosch's innovative approach to religious art, combining moral instruction with a vivid imagination. This work remains a significant contribution to the Northern Renaissance, reflecting the era's complex attitudes towards spirituality, morality, and the human condition.
