Escher created “Hell” based on a detail of Bosch’s famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights; specifically, the right-hand panel portraying Hell. In Escher’s version you see a surreal cavernous space, with grotesque figures, ladders, boats stuck in ice, and a giant hollowed-out human torso forming part of the landscape. It’s one of the few works by Escher that is a direct copy or adaptation of another artist’s scene — normally Escher is known for original compositions of tessellations and impossible structures.
