The fire 🔥 pile & hanged person on top of a tower in Devil 😈 Queen’s city fit in with the demons’ attacks on Anthony:
they are to instill fear.

This confirms me in my idea dat the other tower has not a well but a kick-chair.

(Part of the Anthony triptych- Hieronymus Bosch ~1500.
At MNAA, Lisbon.)

It’s an owl.
On the copy panel it’s clearer.

Ik dacht eerst dat ze uit de USA kwamen, die lijken er ook op.

“In de jaren zestig ontsnapten zo’n 250 van deze eekhoorns tijdens een verhuizing van het voormalige Burgers Dierenpark in Tilburg. Sindsdien leven ze ook in onze contreien.”

The Fall of Mankind in the Garden in Eden is not depicted on the first panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights.
But in this detail of the center panel, Bosch clearly makes a parody on it!

The Master always writes
Jheronimus bosch
(bosch with a small letter!).

Such conversions were not extremely rare. And falling back happened also more often.

Bax mentions another group of three, who came with the Spanish fleet. In Veere, in Zeeland.

Found it in Bax 1956 p.175; translated:

There is a whole story on 1 ‘converted’ jew in Bosch’ city.
The principal of the land was even there at the moment. Bosch’s fraternity was involved, the person must have become a member. I must check for details, another time.
As I remember, he later went back to his Jewish religion…

Yes.
Here it refers to Roma.

Netherlandish sayings-
now by Hieronymus Bosch…

*Clean white pig =people acting like they became Christian but not really are (Similar: Dog w.vomit)
*De Bruyn: “Frying the herring for the roe” =fraud & greed.
I suggest; “The herring hangs from its own gill”
=One is often cause of one’s own fortune.

At the end of the day, judge what actions of you created progress.

Mistakes can be made, most significant is how you cope with it.

The eggs in Love Garden, where CRAZY LOVE-SEEKERS are abundant, would logically not be related so much to the resurrection; but first of all it may link to comparable silliness of ravers around the time of Lent, in my opinion.

THE BUTTERFLY
is ambiguous:
*associated with love 💕
*Bosch turned the wings to show the most beautiful part
*stands for ephemerality, a short happy life
*a typical MEMENTO MORI symbol-

*But in the end it turns positive,
*its transformation refers to Hope via Christ, who died & rose again!

Ancient Netherlandish expression:
