There are no records to tell us what Bosch or his contemporaries were thinking. There are so many theories out there, some more outlandish than others.

I have sifted through most of them, and from a process of elimination, come up with what I think is a pretty good idea. I have also come up with several ideas I haven’t seen before.

In part three I discuss possible meanings, of the final and most controversial panel, Hell.

The previous scenes are set in nature, but hell is a man made world. There is nothing here that they have not brought on themselves, and even the musical instruments they created have turned on them.
The demons are clothed but the humans, or souls, are still naked. But they have lost any element of eroticism, and many of them are covering their bodies, ashamed of their nakedness.

I have based my research around the Bible, Medieval history, infrared scans, art history papers and books and historical documents. But in the end it is still my opinion. If you have an opinion, then why not put it in the comments, and keep the dialogue going!\n
