Ears with Knife (Large)

The Garden of Earthly Delights

Hieronymus Bosch shows us the way in which mortal souls emerged from earthly paradise, are on our way to the atrocious trials of hell through our impure lives on earth.

The dark paint on the closed panels shows Creation, surrounded by water, in accordance with medieval traditions.

Two huge ears, linked by an arrow and a knife stuck in the middle.

Is there a medieval allegorical symbolism behind this, or the horrible torture one might expect in hell represented here, once again?

Is the monogram on the knife an M of the Bosch B?

Maybe we'll never know what Bosch - had between his ears - when he was painting the image.
