DEATH OF THE REPROBATE JACQUARD WOVEN WOOL & COTTON BLOUSON JACKET LIMITED EDITION of 25
Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch and the traditions that shaped him, this diptych unfolds like a fever dream, each panel an intricate web of allegory and nightmare.
On the left, worldly pleasures are on full display—opulent tents, debauched gatherings, and bizarre hybrids of human and beast cavorting across a lush, surreal landscape. A pink vessel sails across a river, its passengers caught in a grotesque procession of indulgence and folly. It is a tableau of unchecked desire, humanity’s weakness laid bare under the indifferent gaze of distant hills. This is the world before the fall—lush yet ominous, where excess rules and shadows begin to creep in.
The right panel plunges us into the chaos of damnation, a vision of Hell. The hills erupt into flames, and twisted creatures torment the damned in a dark, barren wasteland. A man lies dying in his bed, besieged by demonic figures who claw at his soul. The scene reflects a deep medieval anxiety about the vulnerability of the dying, where one’s soul was believed to hang in a precarious balance between redemption and damnation. The infamous “bed demons” of medieval folklore—sinister spirits who were said to torment sleepers and prey on the souls of the dying—appear in full force. These creatures, part demon and part nightmare, symbolised the spiritual and physical dangers of the transition between life and death, a liminal space where Hell’s agents had their greatest power.
These demons were often depicted as tempters or tormentors, embodying sins like lust, greed, and sloth. Their presence near the bed highlights the precarious nature of the moment, as though Hell itself has gathered to claim the reprobate. This scene taps into a broader medieval tradition of Ars Moriendi, or the “art of dying,” where the final hours were seen as a spiritual battleground.
The vision presented here owes its form to a blend of medieval Christian doctrine, Dante’s Inferno, and older pagan mythologies. Fire, grotesque tormentors, and eternal suffering are drawn from Greek Hades, Norse Hel, and the medieval Church’s emphasis on moral judgment. Bosch and his followers absorbed and synthesised these traditions, crafting an infernal realm that feels both deeply personal and universally terrifying.
Yet, beyond the medieval visions of fire and brimstone, this diptych also hints at a more immediate truth: Heaven and Hell are not distant realms, but states of being that exist in the here and now. On the left, the indulgence and debauchery of unchecked desire create a Hell that masquerades as pleasure. On the right, the torments of guilt, regret, and squandered time are played out vividly in the suffering of the reprobate. These are not punishments reserved for some distant afterlife—they are consequences born from our own choices, playing out in the fabric of our lives and deaths. Heaven and Hell are not far-off destinations; they are woven into our existence, their seeds sown in the moments we live and the paths we choose.
