Divided by centuries chronologically, living in a society both would find mutually unrecognisable, espousing entirely alien belief systems, working to completely different artistic credos, the work of Hieronymus Bosch (1450 – 1516) might almost be mistaken for that of members of the 20th c Surrealist movement.

The central water-bound globe in the middle panel's upper background is a hybrid of stone and organic matter. It is adorned by nude figures cavorting both with each other and with various creatures, some of whom are realistic, others are fantastic or hybrid.

A group of nude females from the center panel. One female wears a cherry—a symbol of pride—on her head. To her left a male drinks lustfully from an organic vessel. Behind the group one male carries another encased in a mussel shell.

Detail showing nudes cavorting within a transparent sphere. What appear to be cracks in the sphere, may forecast the fragility of joyful passion. The figures's arms are entwined, while the female's head bends towards the male's attentive mouth. Their innocence contrasts with the atmosphere of the right-hand panel, where human figures are depicted in shame of their nakedness.

The "Tree-Man" of the right panel, and a pair of human ears brandishing a blade. A cavity in the torso is populated by gamblers and drunkards. It is believed that the tree-man may represent the Antichrist.

Detail showing the "Prince of Hell". Gibson compares the monster to a similar figure in the 12th century Irish religious text Vision of Tundale, who feeds on the souls of corrupt and lecherous clergy.

Detail from the center panel showing two cherry-adorned dancing figures who carry a surface on which an owl is perched. In the front right corner a bird standing on a reclining human's foot is about to eat from a cherry offered to it.
