Abstract

This study examines the sociocultural and psychological aspects present in Hieronymus Bosch's renowned artworks, "The Gardens of Earthly Delights" and "The Last Judgment," utilising historiography, iconography, and an analytical checklist. The findings revealed that intricate stories question established social standards and add to a deep sociocultural conversation, uncovering a diverse range of societal stories that enrich the comprehension of the complex and numerous elements of quality of life in the 15th-century Netherlands. The visionary art of Bosch has a significant impact on the ongoing sociocultural conversation, encouraging deep contemplation of the complexities of existence in the 15th century, which improves the quality of life.
