The new exhibition series explores correspondences between Bosch’s altarpiece The Last Judgment Triptych , the heart of the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and works by a range of artists. The new exhibition series opens with the flamboyant Dadaist birds by Dutch artist Sjon Brands. His birds are absurd creatures of metal, radio valves, ostrich feathers, ladles and matchboxes, and seem to have fluttered here directly from Hieronymus Bosch’s surreal landscapes of bizarre curiosities.

The heart of the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of  Fine Arts Vienna is The Last Judgment by Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450/55 – 1516). This triptych is among the world’s most important art works from the period around 1500. Many aspects of the altarpiece continue to puzzle scholars to this day, and it is indisputably the collection’s main attraction.
