Paradise and Hell


Paradise and Hell is the left and right panels of a minor diptych by a follower of Hieronymus Bosch based on "The Haywain Triptych". The image is oil on panel and is 135 x 45 cm. It was painted c. 1510 and is now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. Paradise is depicted darker than in the Haywain, which possibly represents the darkness of original sin. The left panel depicts Creation and the Garden of Eden. It is loosely divided into sections, beginning at the top and ending at the

the order of the panels was "Fall of the Damned into Hell", "Hell", space, "Terrestrial Paradise", and "Ascent of the Blessed". The "Terrestrial Paradise" was placed on the left because it resembles other Eden panels by Bosch, especially with its landscape, fountain, and following biblical convention. There is also confusion on whether the "Terrestrial Paradise" is even “paradise” because it might also be Purgatory. Another possible arrangement is "Ascent", "Paradise",

"Hell in Paradise" is a song by Yoko Ono from the 1985 album "Starpeace". The lyrics are about mankind's perceived idea of hell, despite living in the paradise that Ono considers to be planet Earth. After "Walking on Thin Ice", it was her biggest hit of the 1980s, charting at number 16 on the US dance chart. Ono went on hiatus after "Starpeace"; this would be her last proper single until 2001's remix of "Open Your Box". In 2004,

It provides the framework for understanding the formal structures of the three realms. Seung shows that Hell, Purgatory, and

Paradise


In religion, paradise is a place of exceptional happiness and delight. Paradisiacal notions are often laden with pastoral imagery, and may be cosmogonical or eschatological or both, often compared to the miseries of human civilization: in paradise there is only peace, prosperity, and happiness. Paradise is a place of contentment, a land of luxury and fulfillment. Paradise is often described as a "higher place", the holiest place, in contrast to this world, or underworlds such as Hell. In eschatological contexts, paradise is imagined

In religion and folklore, Hell is an afterlife location in which evil souls are subjected to punitive suffering, often torture as eternal punishment after death. Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as eternal destinations, the biggest examples of which are Christianity and Islam, whereas religions with reincarnation usually depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations, as is the case in the dharmic religions. Religions typically locate hell in another dimension or under Earth's surface. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Paradise, Purgatory, Limbo,

Some Eastern Orthodox Christians believe that Heaven and Hell are relations to or experiences of God's just and loving presence. There is no created place of divine absence, nor is hell an ontological separation from God.

The song's lyrics are about self-loathing. According to A.A. Dowd of "The A.V. Club", "Long Hard Road Out of Hell" resembles the music of Marilyn Manson, particularly songs from

Purgatory. John Milton's "Paradise Lost" (1667) opens with the fallen angels, including their leader Satan, waking up in Hell after having been defeated in the war in heaven and the action returns there at several points throughout the poem. Milton portrays Hell as the abode of the demons, and the passive prison from which they plot their revenge upon Heaven through the corruption of the human race. 19th-century French poet Arthur Rimbaud alluded to the concept as well in the title and themes of one of his

Pandæmonium is the capital of Hell in John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost". "Pandæmonium" (in some versions of English "Pandemonium") stems from the Greek "παν", meaning "all" or "every", and "δαιμόνιον", meaning "little spirit", "little angel", or, as Christians interpreted it, "little daemon", and later, "demon". It thus roughly translates as "All Demons", but can also be interpreted as Παν-
