Iconology of the Wayfarer Triptych – Detail
As far as Bosch was concerned, the important aspect was clearly not the classical Last Judgement theme, but the rendering of an inventory of reprehensible behaviour… To clarify this process, we ought to return for a moment to the Ship of Fools. An addendum to the second edition (1498) of Jakob Locher’s Stultifera navis – the Latin translation – contains a ‘new invention’ by Sebastian Brant [Brant, 1498]: ‘Those who are ruined by an erroneous way of life’ reflects on and explains the book as a whole… The people aboard the fools’ fleet have failed to honour the ‘law, moderation and way that are demanded by God and by the decent order of things’. (p. 183)
