Museo Prado,Madrid

Painted by Bosch some time between 1490 and 1510, the Garden

 of Earthly Delights was first hung in the palace of the Counts of Nassau

 in Brussels before being bought and transported to Phillip II’s vast

 and austere palace and monastery at El Escorial in 1593. 

It remained there for 340 years until it was moved to the Prado in 1933.
