I think the hint was in point 10: Quote:Very few of these ideas are from the Bible. The Bible does refer to Hell and its fires, but more of the details in Dante are drawn from Greek and Roman myths, and the vast majority are the creation of medieval Western imagination. Eastern Christian artists never shared their interest, and even in the West it was a late development - the doctrine of perpetual torment was propounded by the Lateran Council of 1215, just a century before Dante wrote. In modern times Christians have become increasingly sceptical about Hell. There are 622 verses in the Bible (in the New International Version) which mention Heaven, and 15 that mention Hell.

Hieronymus Bosch's father was an important leader of The Brotherhood of Our Lady, a Flemish Catholic organisation that followed the mother of Christ and in adulthood Bosch became artistic advisor to the organisation, fairly easy to see where his influences came from. Milton followed Protestantism and was trained to be an Anglican priest and much of his early work is centred around religion, not hard to fathom out where he got his ideas on Hell from. Organised religion has used various visions of Hell as a control tool for centuries in an "Ignore us and this will happen to you" or "Ignore us and this is what awaits" or more importantly "Hand over your wealth or this will be your fate", the concept of a Hell is purely a religious concept invented by the religious hierachy and mentioned in the bible, no argument. |
