Artist and architect Alart du Hameel engraved the word Bosche at the top of most of his prints. This likely refers to his birthplace of ’s-Hertogenbosch. The undulation, rowdiness, and irrepressible flatulence of the creatures are also characteristic of Hieronymus Bosch, indicating the design may be after a painting by Bosch, now lost. In this chaotic battle between good and evil, only a select few souls are ushered to heaven through the narrow chasm in the upper left corner. The foreground teems with devils tormenting those damned for all eternity.
