Visitors scurry around the miser’s bedroom, including a demon holding a fiery lantern and a rat-faced beast inside the chest, holding a bag of gold. On the left, a skeleton enters the room with an arrow in his hand. This painting warns the viewer about greed: the miser has a choice between the money bag offered by the little monster and the pleas of the angel.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/death-and-miser-c-14851490-hieronymus-bosch" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/death-and-miser-c-14851490-hieronymus-bosch#comments European Painting Flemish Painter For Kids Hieronymus Bosch Painting Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/48/48f6068b246cb694/poster-image-08.jpg 48f6068b246cb694 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:12:09 +0000 s-sarraf 8801 at http://artbabble.org
