Gluttony and Lust
techniek: Oil on Oak, 34.9 x 30.6 cm
The panel currently presented as Gluttony and Lust was originally part of the lower section of the left-hand wing of a triptych; the top part was the Ship of Fools (19.2a). Here, too, the people painted are mainly concerned with eating, drinking, and music. Things are little better on land: Clothing has been carelessly discarded, and the man and woman in the tent seem rather too intimate. It is therefore no surprise that this panel-along with the Ship of Fools-is linked to the theme of the Seven Deadly Sins, which include gluttony (Latin: “gula”) and lust (“luxuria”). Combined with the Wayfarer (19.1), which was originally on the outside of the wings, it is clear that Bosch’s message was a moralizing one. |  |
