About Group of Victims

The artwork titled “Group of Victims” was created by Hieronymus Bosch in the year 1500. It belongs to the Northern Renaissance art movement and is classified as a religious painting. This piece is currently housed at the National Museum of Ancient Art (MNAA) in Lisbon, Portugal.

The artwork encapsulates Bosch’s distinctive and surreal approach to portraying religious themes. It presents a chaotic scene filled with an array of fantastical creatures and hybrid figures, combining human, animal, and otherworldly elements. Central to the composition is a series of bizarre interactions among these figures, which appear to be trapped in a disturbing and surreal landscape. The use of vivid colors and intricate details draws the viewer into the tumultuous and disconcerting atmosphere Bosch masterfully conjures. As with much of Bosch’s work, the underlying narrative seems to offer a deep, allegorical commentary on human nature and morality.
