## Commentary

Triptych of Garden of Earthly Delights \(detail\) c. 1500 Oil on panel Museo del Prado, Madrid The picture shows a detail of the right wing which represents the bird-headed monster. The bird-headed monster at lower right gobbles up the damned souls only to defecate them into a transparent chamber pot from which they plunge into a pit below. Other sins can be identified in the area around the pit. The slothful man is visited in his bed by demons, and the glutton is forced to disgorge his food, while the proud lady is compelled to admire her charms reflected in the backside of a devil.
